In my experience the barnes need fairly high impact speeds to work well (light for cal going like f) and will kill at med/longer ranges but delayed kills are a reality as they just turn into a super apple corer at lower speeds and dont transfer any shock...hence i wouldnt recomend any heavier than 130gr from 308win...even 110g.

I have shot all manner of big red stags red/wap crosses from all angles and have still never recovered a 130gr barnes...extra weight is wasted...it is not a long rage pill so forget about bc. Velocity and energy/shock is how these work.

Cheers mate much appreciated. This is just a roar bush rig, couple hundy max and for popping fallow and reds around here. Ill run the 130. bloody awesome thanks mate
