and blows up.That deer or what ever you shot just got 1500lbs of energy.I will bet it is dead on impact.Your barnes unless through the sholders just make a cut but not all the internal damadge as the other so it is not dieing for some time.That is why I dont like copper bullets and bonded bullets the math and the use of then prove it all to well.I hope this make my point a little more clear.

I took a very large body white tail buck last year, clean through the chest never touched a bone, with a 25-06 115gr. barnes tsx. It dropped on the spot, with plenty of damage when I opened him up.
Also if you check out any outfitters web sites for animals like walrus, cape buffalo, eland, or anything that requires alot of penetration, surface area, and weight retention the barnes always come up in the recomended ammunition column.
