[QUOTE="Stocky, post: 861555, member: 17019"] Just returned from Africa where I used the Barnes 300 TSX Vor-Tx @ 2650 (clocked) factory on everything from a 20 lb steenbok, thru cape buffalo and a 3000 lb giraffe. Here's the ones I recovered .... [IMG]http://www.stockysstocks.com/1/35/25/752531/store/africa/Barnes375-Recovered.jpg[/IMG] For what its worth, my impression was that the 260 Partitions (last trip) killed the various antelope a bit faster but I sure wouldn't want to use them on anything larger than eland for penetration reasons. As an example, the Livingston Eland absorbed three solid shoulder hits from 3 different angles with the TSX before he tipped over, whereas a single 260 partition finished the last one, but this is far from conclusive. Far-hide recovery on an angling-away shot at a 3000 lb giraffe is about the best one can expect from a bullet, yet on a 20 lb steenbok or 100 lb bushbuck the exit wounds indicated some expansion had taken place.
