Barnes bullets on elk

I have no idea who Nathan Foster is though he may be the recognized expert of all experts in his field. However, alleged remarks credited to him regarding Barnes bullets may have no factual basis....

Agreed. Nathan is a master at self promotion and would have to have lived five lifetimes to get the "database" he claims to have. Take it with a grain of salt, he has limited cred here in NZ which might tell you something..

A very common load/ combo here is a 120 TTSX exiting a 16" bbl suppressed 7-08 at over 2900, mine does 2940. That load kills stuff with authority up to 300yds. You only recover at best a third of them but the ones you do find are invariably on the other side/end and full mushroomed.

A professional guide near here has a rifle identical to mine and he lets his clients use it if they want. Until two weeks ago, he had 15 consecutive DRTs on deer until a total newbie who couldn't manage minute of barn ruined the record :)
