I just wanted to say thank you again to both of you and everyone on your staff who helped me get ready for my elk hunt this year. I used the load we worked up in your lab for my .50-caliber muzzleloader, and was able to take a nice bull. It’s a great story. When you have time, I’ll have to tell you all about it. It’s amazing how fast 290 grains of Barnes Copper brings down a full-grown elk! He went only 60 yards before piling up!

Thanks again! You’re the best!

Just a short note to let you know how pleased I am with how your 200-grain TSX bullet performed in my .300 Weatherby Magnum. I was recently in Alaska on a brown bear hunt, and took a nice bear with this bullet loaded to about 3050 feet per second (fps).

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance, and my guide was elated! The bear took the quartering shot on the point of the shoulder at 80 yards, and just dropped. I mean, the bullet floored it! The bear never twitched. The guide said that during all his years of guiding, he’s only seen three bears dropped like that. The other two were head shots.

The advice from your technical staff was spot-on and greatly appreciated. I’ve been told numerous times that only a .338 magnum or a larger caliber is acceptable for hunting these huge bears.

Your bullet is a great equalizer!
