They seem to work well on Buffalo, and the 75 gr. Barnes X in my 6x45 has worked out well on big game without any failures so far but they discontinued that bullet on me, but I have quit a few ratholed away.. However, I have had some real failures with them on several ocassions and in several calibers...I have come to the conclusion that when they work they work great and kill well, but when they fail they fail miserably...

Consistency is the problem with BarnesX IMO..I'm basing this on my personal experience and some instances of friends haveing failures..I have shot a lot of game with them, but not in the last couple of years..I started using GS Customs and now Bridger is going to make some monolithic hollow points...
