Dober/RuralDoc: Good posts!I never paid to much attention to exits vs non-exits because sometimes bullets exited and sometimes they did not,depending on....well...all kinds of things.

One thing I am learning, especially as I watch on here,and since I have younger compadres who keep sending me info and recovered Barnes bullets(if they are recovered, clearly they did not exit) is that,even with these super-penetrators,exits some times happen and sometimes they don't.....so the trend continues....

The most recent is a friend who just returned from a BB hunt on the Peninsula and last week he used a 416 Rigby with a 400 gr Barnes to shoulder shoot this very large bear....another recovered Barnes(did a splendid job BTW),.........and if you can't depend on a 400 gr Barnes from a Rigby to make two holes...well what the hell CAN you depend on? confused

Rambling thoughts and a bit off-topic but I guess as good a place as any to discuss it because we are talking about "holes" grin




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
