Saeed & Walter, I think you have the makings of a new AR poster/calendar. Encircling the photo, you could list each animal a particular bullet killed. Each item would have it's designated number that corresponded with the name. My answer to your riddle: everything wound up as BBQ.

All bullets from Saeed Safaris? Pic # 1, Solids at top (old Barnes RN and what else?) and some Swift A-Frames and another type just below the top? Next a wide swathe of three main groupings of softs, left to right in first pic, across lower half: Walterhogs, Barnes XFB & XFB-Cannelured, and Trophy Bonded Bear Claws??? The reason that some do not recover their Barnes X bullets is that they do not shoot large enough game to stop the bullet? I like the way the Walterhogs perform. We on the Big Bore Forum think of them as "NonCons." You push them fast enough and blow off all the petals, creating a startburst permanent wound channel on entry side and a deep wound to off side. Apparently this kills very well, as Saeed has proven. His sample size is scientifically large.  | |||

Walter, I think I see some trophy bonded bear claw action there, which is super exciting bc thats what I shoot!!! I never see anyone talk about them...I love them. | |||

Saeed, can you please PM me a list of what animal each bullet has killed. I need the list so I can win Walter's contest and get myself a free safari. Thanks! ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

The picture of the Barnes RN solids is very interesting. I noticed that several are bent at the cannalure. I have seen the same thing with Nosler solids bending at the cannalure. Perhaps having a cannalure on solids is a bad idea and this is why they have such a poor reputation for shallow penetration and veering off course. 465H&H | |||

465H&H, Or perhaps it is the inherent instability of the roundnose solid that makes it veer and fishtail: When it does so, the bullet then is most likely to bend at the weakest point, where it has been cut with the cannelure. | |||

RIP, I definate possibility but I can say after shooting over 100 RN steel jacketed solids into buff and elephants, I have never had one bend in the middle or veer off course. 465H&H | |||

Why does no one, ever, post a photo of (or anything else about) the A-Square Dead Tough? Vox clemartis in deserto. | |||
