They are a little too big for a 308 winchester though. Grew up shooting 220gr Remington corelokts in my 30-06, and I know those work great on things. The Barnes are more of a collectors item, but well worth the $15/box I gave for them...


I used one of those 250 grain Barnes in a 30/06 to kill an elk. IIRC it drove through the spine and was found lodged under the offside hide. I have it in my collection of spent, game killing bullets with the description of the distance, recovered weight and what damage was done. I remember it was another picture-perfect mushroom.
