You have a very unique collection!

Funny, I never collected a single one of my Barnes X bullets...in one side and out the other, never to be found.

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.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

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. tu2

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! Big Grin

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,
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.

Why does no one, ever, post a photo of (or anything else about) the A-Square Dead Tough?
