I should also mention as bad as Barnes bullets are on Deer size game. They always performed great on Russian Boar. The thick skin and armor plating they called it was tough to penetrate.
I remember Big6x6 talking about the hunt and the fact that the conicals were not doing what they thought they should do. But it was such a long time ago... I think RW was even there and he wrote a piece about it - I do not remember much about it so then again maybe it wasn't RW.
