First, I'm not a troll. That was my honest experience with a 350L. Knew I shouldn't have mentioned it because it would turn into this. If you want the info the first 2 were with the XP. 3rd was with I believe a federal 180? That one didn't deflect but had a lack of blood (all did). I simply was not impressed with the round.
2nd. I dont know what to price a savage barrel as I've never sold a rifle barrel.
3rd. Who was whining about recoil? I said I noticed a difference. And if you're referencing my kid and recoil? Guess that goes to show where you're at with your life.
Is this how this place normally is?
Lets take a look at ballistic tests on that XP bullet you said "deflected" off of 2 deer.
FWIW, I have seen gutshot deer run off without much if any blood trail.
Lack of blood seems to be an issue with you.. I can't really speak for that because when I shoot a deer, the blood I find is laying under it when it falls straight down.
