Thanks. In our camp we've used them to take about 50 deer in the last 12 years. From small doe to huge-bodied bucks. All but three dropped in their tracks. 1 took three steps and the other two ran about 50 yards.
My concern about expansion came from watching the Barnes video where they explain that expansion starts from tissue entereing the hollow point cavity and pushing out. I thought the tip would make it easier for the bullet to slide in before expansion started. Then I read that they redesigned the nose cavity to make expansion faster so I guess I'm convinced.
If you're dropping deer with these bullets, the expansion should be just fine. I'll give them a shot (pun intended
)
