Interesting. I know that people have had expansion failures from Barnes and I've seen pics of the bullets. Although often the indications are that they tumbled on impact. I haven't had a failure yet so I still use them, among other bullets.
I've had Ballistic Tips fail (over expansion at high velocity impact) and I had Nosler Partitions "fail" in that they got stopped by a big bears spine, tumbled and lost their rear core. Broke the vertebrae after going through hide and back fat, but didn't go any deeper. I've also seen Barnes bullets leave small entrance and exit wounds but the internal organs looked like jellied tomato soup
Bullets can do weird things. Ultimately, people should just pick the bullet that gives them confidence.
This has been my experience with the 150 TTSX 7mm. Quite impressive. All bang flops so far. No bullets recovered. My most recent bull moose had no lungs left inside, just “tomato soup”.
