A Barnes X was used on the elk and it did not track straight.
I would agree that a Barnes solid or better yet a Woodleigh would track better.
My experience- X bullets are good on deer/elk but the X tends to loose one or more petals when hitting bigger, tougher animals.Don't know if I would like to try them on a Buff.
Hoppdoc, I usually don't drink in the mornings, but I'm wondering if I was sober when I just read that the Barnes X didn't track straight through an elk. From what angle?
I have not shot big five so I won't speak to them {not that it would change my aim...}, but on broadside shots on any critter that has four legs and farts; Shoulder, Shoulder Shoulder.
