[QUOTE="CZ284, post: 534910, member: 3482"] It might have something to do with the weight. The 168 would be like shooting a 180 grain bullet of another design. heavy bullets tyically do not open up much on thin skinned animals. I shoot a 284 winchester exculsively with Barnes X bullets and use the 150 grain. I shot one at 180 yards the other night like you did and it ran about 40 yards. Blood everywhere, but who cares- dead is dead. I've probably shot 200 deer with the X bullet and hanve never lost one, and with all but one got an exot wound. the one that didn't I shot virtually head on at the base of the neck and found the bullet in the off side ham right under the skin. Penetration is NEVER an issue with the X bullet. [/QUOTE]
