Had a girl in one of my MBA classes, all she hunts with, shoots head and heart shots, says they usually never go anywhere but straight down. She has her shot placement down!
Seems the Barnes are popular and even others. Chatted with a fellow years back, seems he shot all his deer w/ 55 Sierra soft points, all behind shoulder, said they go less than 40 yds. I know if you slip a bullet like that 'tween ribs it'll do nasty things on the inside, can't go far with lung soup. He was shooting to near 300 and possibly 400 yds as I recall.
I know alot of guys here use a 223, granted the 22/250 has perhaps 50-100 yd of speed.
