That is pretty.To the OP, Barnes is a softer compound, copper bullets performance are not comparable to other manufacturers. Barnes TTSX at 1865ish FPS. Found under the skin in the off shoulder, elk went 30 yards. With that said shot placement is what killed it. It took off the top of the heart.

However, I would be careful going below the minimum velocity that Barnes recommends ~1800 FPS.
If your impact is too slow, then you run the risk of the bullet not expanding, which can be a fatal shot and can have the animal running quite a ways before dying.
