[QUOTE="7stw, post: 796397, member: 22854"] Brush, I guess it depends on who you talk to. I have had people tell me they blew up, and some say, as you did, that they pencil through. There does seem to be a lot of variables, and velocity, and especially TERMINAL velocity plays a big part. Another thing that plays a huge part in ANY bullets terminal performance, is the rate of twist. In any given caliber, take the same bullet, and change the twist rate, and it changes how much, or how little the bullets " upset " on impact. Shoot a 150 grain bullet in a 12 twist, 308, and shoot it in a 10 twist, and the upset will be different. Another thing is how many riflings are in the barrel! Some are 6, some are 5, and even 4. My first 7 STW Sendero has always shot, and still does shoot 140 CT, and it has never failed me. I'm a little concerned right now, as I just ordered some more of them, as I just ran out. Will these bullets act differently? I hope not! The ones I just ran out of, were bought in 1997, when the CT's first came out, and that was before they started putting them in factory ammo. ( QC ) . Time will tell! take care my friend!:) A guy from Nosler asked the question one day, " At what time, during the death of the deer, did the bullet fail"? I'm like you though, if the Nosler won't work, the Barnes will! Count on it! [/QUOTE]
