Message: <blockquote data-quote="criticalbass" data-source="post: 1413136" data-attributes="member: 711">Another Barnes incident:  I saw, at a gunsmith's place of business, a T-post section with a bullet hole in it.  It was a keyhole shaped hole.  The 'smith told me he had cut the section out of the T-post  for a friend who had been shooting at a hog with a barnes bullet (can't remember the caliber).  The hog was a few feet past the post,and was killed instantly by the bullet which was still in one piece.  Knowing how hard T-posts are, I find this surprising, but . . .  I am loading some 25-06 rounds with Barnes solids that do not expand because I want to have a couple of pelts tanned.  These are designed to not expand, so shot placement is going to be critical, which is not an issue with my heavy Mauser based 25-06.  CB</blockquote>
