Barnes Triple X--in the field perfomance
18/11/08 01:08 AM

Had a very weird thing happen this past week...my friend and I snuck up on a group of deer feeding in the sage--fairly open from where we were to where they were--we had run out of cover..-so I attempted a shot on the buck--as he stepped over a very slight knoll..distance was right at 324 yards...he dropped to the shot...when we walked over..there were not one but two deer laying on the ground...after analyzing what had happened we found that when I had shot the buck --the bullet went through the ear hole and out the other side of the buck, then striking a doe, apparently feeding behind the buck..directly in the skull, killing her instantly as well...fortunately we had tags for a doe as well so it ended up o.k.---

Before the shot, we looked, there was a big hill and rock wall directly behind them about 80 yards..so felt good with the shot, but neither of us had spotted the doe..kind of freaked me out a bit actually.

Anyway, we retrieved the bullet out of the doe..it was in her sinus cavity after blowing through her skull cap..see attached photos..keeping in the mind, this is AFTER passing through the head of the buck..I was shoooting a custom rifle in .257 Weatherby caliber--Remington titanium action, Hart barrel, and HS Precision lightweight stock, jewel trigger--loaded -100 gr Barnes Triple shock..chronographed hand loads at 3652 fps...Have not weighed the bullet yet, but would guess it has retained around 80%...
