Jeffbird and Shag I hear ya the Barnes . I shoot them in everything I own for close to 20 years. Purposely not using them here in hopes of giving dad a bigger blood trail from a cup and core. As well, trying to drop some recoil for the old man. I’ve been loading 120gr TTSX for him for the 7-08 he currently uses and if it’s not DRT he has a hard time tracking on occasion. He sits on the edge of an open field that butts up to some really thick brush and then transitions to wetlands. Most of them drop in the field because I’ve got him trained to neck shoot them when standing still, but he has had a few come in all amped up chasing does that require some tracking when hit through the boiler room. Hoping to get some of those half dollar size holes for him on the exit side.
If it was me shooting this I would be in the 120 TTSX or 125g partition camp myself.
