[QUOTE="Broz, post: 637381, member: 7503"] Riley, many very knowledgable hunters with many long range kills under their belts have tried to explain things to you. Like above with sp6x6's post. I am glad to hear of you and your Dads success, but what were the distances? Now I am not picking on you, in fact, I think you are a very sharp young man and I am glad to see you so eager to learn. But this is long range hunting. Most everybody here has a favorite bullet and you have made it very clear that yours is Barnes. Thats great!! But most will tell you they do not choose a Barnes for longer shots. Why? Because many like myself have seen them not expand and pencil through and then spent the rest of the day and 1/2 the next trying to find the wounded elk. And most of the time, by the next day it is too late as the meat has spoiled or the birds and preditors have ruined it. Every bullet has it's place, none are with out flaws, but you are on a Long Range forum downing bullets that work very well as hunting bullets. Your BS about some of them being "Target Bullets" simply shows your lack of actual field experience at longer distances. You are entitled to your opinions, problem is you are debating with guys that know first hand and they are simply sharing data with you in an effort to help you.
