RE: Barnes X bullet or win failsafes for elk?
 

I cannot figure out how to post the picture either. That is bullet looks like a marketing dreamcome true. You should email to Barnes with story, muzzle velocity ect they have a section of the web site with stuff like that.

BTW, nice bull man! Where did you tag that bugger?

RE: Barnes X bullet or win failsafes for elk?
 

The bull was taken right near the Alberta B.C. border.Northwestern Alberta and northeastern B.C. are becoming one of the better areasto hunt elk.

stubblejumper, congrats on your bull and thanks for the update.

I managed to recover a TSX from a bull moose from last week, the weight retention was right around 90% as well. The shot was a quarter away at approx 75 yards the bullet entered the ribs, damaging both lungs and severely hemoraging the heart while busting through the opposing shoulder and came to rest in the hide on the opposite side. My load is 140gr TSX MV is 3150fps. The recovered bullet lost a pedal in the hide on the opposite side but given the circumstances of the shot, size of animal and distance it travelled I am surely impressed with this bullet for the larger game.What I like is even when contacting the heavy bone the meat damage was very small. I ama bitworried if such a bullet will prove to strong for whitetails on a rib shot only! Any experiences would be appreciated? I would like to just stick with this load as it shoots very well!

I have a coupleof pics of the recovered barnes(sorryfor the poor quality). I will attempt to attach them in one post if possible but have never had much luck so if not bare with the additional posts.

Again sorry about the quality my camera took a drink on your elk trip so I only have the cheapy digi right now.

Finally here is the moose that the above TSX was recovered from. Opps forgot to mention .284/140gr TSX fired from a 7mm rem mag.
