i still think the barnes does the most damage of any bullet. that lion ran only about 30 yards and was down for the count. granted the ph made ya put a couple in until she quit moving. that kudu was awesome, bullet layed the smack down. just a devastating bullet. i shot my cape buff with the swift, but the middle range federal barnes load when i did my post mortem penetration testing penetrated into the offside shoulder meat thru the scapula. DO NOT not use these bullets bc you may be hung up on the grain weight being light compared to lead containing bullets. they just penetrate much better than any bullet that opens up to .8" or more should and they do sooooo much damage you really won't mind a lack of an exit wound.


side note, they're tough and i shot my watusi thru the skull and it pentrated thru the skull and down thru the thickest part around the spine, thru the mandible and in the hide offside and expanded nearly perfectly.
