Entrance wound was caliber size or slightly larger, insides were jello, and exit was about half dollar size.
I have also shot 2 bucks with them and neither one took a step. Bang, Flop.
I love Barnes bullets and will probably be shooting the exclusively out of all my rifles.
I reload my ammo so I have tried many other bullets, I love Noslers and have a bunch of them but I feel that the Barnes bullets are easier to get to shoot very well


I agree on availability, even over the counter, I may slowly move my rifles to these. We’ll see
