onefunzr2You 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.
Thanks.Looks impressivly.

L. David KeithSaeed & 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.

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......

Use Enough GunSo that's the stuff that Walter jingles and plays with in his pockets!
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.

Oryxhunter1983Walter,
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.

SevensSaeed, 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!

465H&HThe 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.

465H&HRIP,
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.

mauser93Why does no one, ever, post a photo of (or anything else about) the A-Square Dead Tough?
