The worst bullets I used were the early Barnes X monometals. Had me chasing animals all over the place. Barely expanded or didn't expand at all. Never recovered one and had to shoot several animals a couple of times. One Elk I shot with one of them (225 grain .338 X bullet) actually went over one mountain and up the other side of another after crossing LaBarge creek. Thank God for snow. What a bitch of a recovery, my hardest ever. Even today after they have considerably improved their bullets I will only buy their match bullets.
