Oh yeah the old BDL has electrocuted the schit out of everything I’ve ever pointed it at. I have a few hundred Barnes Original .030 jacket soft points. Barnes says they never made any but I somehow ended up with them in sealed orange label boxes. Loaded up a box yesterday for my dangerous game loads. I wish they made TSXs in .172” it would be a giant killer for sure then.

My old buddy from Glenallen had killed 17 wolves and 8 bull caribou with his old BDL. He was a fan of the 25gr Hornady HP driven to about 3800fps with 3031. Hard to argue with his results but I’m a CFE223 fan.
