300 gr Barnes TSX in a Weatherby 378 Mag. Broke front shoulder, clipped both lungs,punch a hole in the heart,broke a rib and stuck between the rib and skin on the backside. Bullet still weighs 299 gr. Big thanks to Chad @ Dallas Reloads for these hammers.

Cant believe that critter managed to contain that bullet, I would have thought it would have gone through a tank.
Congrats.

Very impressive! I am considering trying the 180 gr. TSX in my .300 Wby. Several years back I had outstanding results with the original Barnes X in this rifle and in a Dakota Arms .275 H&H (Not to be confused with the .375 H&H). The X bullet maintained weight and expanded with intact "flower pedals" in both calibers.

lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Nice! Anything big and tough gets a TSX from my rifles.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Nice bull. I guess you need a 50 BMG to get an exit on a Nilgai bull.

Nice bull. I guess you need a 50 BMG to get an exit on a Nilgai bull. I have shot four nilgai bulls with a 7 STW with 150 Swift Scirocco, 3350 fps, and at the crease behind the shoulders and blew through each time with thumbsized exits out the other end. Broke a few ribs in. Each made like a 50 yard dash and dropped. Never tried on a shoulder bone, I doubt that it will go through all that bone like the 378 Bee with a Barnes. I don't like to shoot in the shoulders though. Nice bull there.

Did he manage to run at all after that? Negative, He folded up like a card table.
