Limited bad experience
Hey all. New to the sight and a newbie to reloading. Thought the Barnes .270 130 gr ttsx looked intruiging so did some testing in my remington 700 bdl. Found what shot acceptable to me which was under an inch at 100 yds. 59.7 grns H4831. Don't currently own a chrono. Barnes site says should be doing close to 2900 fps. Shot an 8 pointer at 100 yds in mid shoulder cuz only opening. He dropped but got back up and ran towards me and finished him with neck shot at 50 yds. Upon field dressing, yes shoulder was garbage but absolutely no penetration to chest cavity. Thinking it hit him directly on the raised shoulder spline and bullet split in two or blew up but just not confident in that bullet. I know, only one trial but not very satisfactory results for me.
