I thought i would share this I have always shot Berger VLDs but a buddy of mine talked me into trying some Barnes TSX. So i worked up a load for my gun using them and was fairly impressed with how they preformed at the range. So i figured i would take them out after elk this year. I got set up on a bull at about 340 yards across the canyon. My first shot and the bull just sort of flinched a little and continued to feed as if nothing had happened. Second shot dumped him in his tracks. As i crossed the canyon i thought what the hell 340 yards off a bipod and you missed?? I must be getting to old for this. However upon caping out the bull I indeed found two entrance holes about two inches from one another. Once i rolled him over to get at the other side i found both of the bullets lodged in the hide not quite passing clean through him. As you can see on my first shot the bullet failed. Needless to say I think ill keep the Barnes for the range!
