[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 854553, member: 4191"] The Berger bullets are at the opposite end of the bullet toughness scale from the Barnes monolithic bullets. The Barnes TSX might retain close to 100% of its original weight, while the Berger could fragment and shrapnel in solid muscle hits so much that it may be difficult to find any large pieces of bullet. If your buddy is used to shooting large game with Barnes bullets, then he may have employed similar shot placement, and expected similar on-game performance from the Berger. He may have selected an initial aiming point far better suited for the Barnes TSX than for a highly frangible Berger at a relatively close range/high speed impact. At the minimum, it wouldn't be surprising that you'd get a call shortly after he compared the Berger wound channel to prior experiences with a Barnes TSX wound channel. These bullet performance Threads draw a lot of attention and are always interesting and often educational. Lots of members will appreciate your sharing any wound or bullet photos your buddy may have taken, with whatever additional description he can provide of the three separate shots. [/QUOTE]
