It is so strange how different people have different experiences.
I think I have killed maybe 6 animals with a mono, whether barnes or other.
.223 Rem and 62 TSX to .375 H&H and the old 270 Failsafe. I have recovered 3 of them and have not been overly impressed with their performance or reliability, overall.
Agreed on different experiences. I've recovered more Partitions (30-06 and 338 Win Mag) from pronghorn (one each) than I have Scenars (260 Rem = 0). With the latter combination have a much higher sample size.
