He won’t allow a customer to hunt with a Barnes bullet

Must have had a bad experience, blamed the bullet. Would be interesting to hear the story.

Multiple experiences with elk shot with Barnes that turn into a rodeo

I’d also like a bit more info! Estimated velocity @ impact, caliber of rifles, and where were the animals hit and from what angle.

Any bullet can fail to do as advertised …..but numerous failures with a bullets that has proven to be very effective by many other users is very suspect! There seems to be a lot left unsaid! JMO
