This is a picture of a a Barnes .338 185g TSX shot from a 338 WM and the only TSX that I have ever recovered. It went into the left shoulder of a black bear at about 35 yards. It hit the inside of the right shoulder and I found it under the hide in the right rear quarter. It lost one "petal" in the process. When I cut open the gut cavity it was one bloody mess....
Because it lost a petal was it a "bullet failure"??? Absolutely Not !Sure it lost a petal, but the bullet did its job and the bear is dead....Thats all you can ask for IMO
