The Barnes X I was using was the old Blue Meanies. The .308 150 Gr in a Sako L579 F/S. Over a medium load of Varget in Lake City cases. I shot a whitetail doe on the other side of a small pond. It didn't drop her immediately but she was struggling over the fence and got into the corn field. As I looked for the blood trail there was a Osage orange sapling shot in half. It was about 3/4" in diameter and absolutely shattered, I hadn't seen it in the scope with the color similar to the doe. The doe was maybe 20 yards in the unpicked corn. That was the poor performance I always had with the Barnes X. The TTSX are even better. I never had trouble with the originals either. I did have to clean the bore to bare metal. If any fouling was left it seemed to suck the copper in and then it was a mess. I like my bores squeaky clean unlike some guys. Either way Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
