Barnes (and possibly other monolithic copper bullets) don't produce the classic "mushroom" that cup/core bullets do. Instead, they work by opening up sharp petals or blades that slice through the animal's vital organs. Mushroom bullets plow through organs like a blunt object, copper bullets slice through like a 3,000fps broadhead.

Outstanding explanation. My faith in you is restored oh "great" one.
After the Gold post I was begining to waiver a bit.
I shot a Goat last year that the 130gr Barnes hit in the right rear rib cage and went all the way through and exited the front left shoulder. The bullet never stopped to say howdy and was headed toward eastern Montana somewhere. Now thats performance. The Goat got very sick and tipped over.
Best wishes, Bill
