Whooooa Hoss! I have used Barnes bullets on big game fact. Now I have NOT used the TSX bullets on any big game simply because if they don't pass a frigging water test, they are sure as "bells" not going to do worth a hoot on any big game animal I shoot understand.
I have had several pass through shots on big game animals using the Barnes X and XLC bullets. However I am not going to go into a lot of details on my passed experiences with Barnes bullets, like whipping a dead horse several times over. If you like em use em it's that simple. I don't like them for obvious reasons and I am sure as hell not going to use them period.
Now on the other hand, I will continue to use those Nosler bullets in partition and accubond version. The TBBC and Swift A Frames for hunting purposes. I would suggest you run a water test on the next batch of Barnes bullets prior to your hunt.
