Blacktailer,

My wife and I have also recovered some Barnes X's over the years, from the original model to TSXs and TTSXs. In fact Eileen got two 100-grain .25s back in a row one fall, from a cow elk and doe pronghorn she killed with her NULA .257 Roberts. The pronghorn, of course, was a lengthwise shot, from the front.

Also have a pretty good collection of other recovered "petal" bullets, including the Combined Technology Fail Safe (which Eileen and I both used a lot more than the very early X-Bullets, because they were more accurate), Hornady GMX and Nosler E-Tip. Oh, and a 40-grain Cutting Edge Raptor that Eileen used to drop a pronghorn with a .22-250.
