Geezus- blew the lung out?

A hole big enough for some lung to fall out when it went down I think, that's the entry

HI,
i use the 120 HH in my 7mm-08 and the 140 Absolute as well . Same experience you are getting . i,d offer though the 120 is more "accurate " and it shoots less than an inch at 100 and i have shot into less than 2 inches at 400 with the same pill . the 120 goes out at 3050 and the 140 goes out at 2850.
The ammo is devastating , I like it alot

@charliehorse will know what that is but my experience is that Barnes make a bigger in hole than out hole. Still damn effective.
Hammers entry is like a pin prick in the skin.

old school silvertips did that on regular basis.... great performance all the same.

From a few years back now, entry 120 GMX out of a 6.5 WSM under 100m impact



Light for calibre & max velocity are the secret with mono projectiles

Deer disguise. They are amongst us but we just don't realise it.

GMX have been superseded haven't they? Got a plastic tip and a new name.

Yes and I think revised to open well at lower velocitys?

Yes, the GMX's had plastic tips, the CX is their replacement, looking forward to giving them a whirl

Fawn Murderer !

The best muzzle loader benchrest groups ever shot back in the day ( 100 + yrs ago ) were with pure gold bullets that were collected from the mound and re-cast for each shoot.
