Just got back from deer hunting (warning - dead deer pics)

Jon, the X Bullet doesn't seem to do real well on our small Columbian Blacktails, Mule deer, wild boar and small bear. They just zip through and have very little chance to expand. I am told they do a great job on large game animals though. I refuse to rifle hunt in Kaliforniev now. It's all about the bow now.

A month late replying, but I agree completely. I shot through and through an antelope with a Barnes X going very fast from a .300 Win Mag. I lost it, and felt very foolish because the "specs" told me this was a great combination. Reality was, it was too fast and the wrong bullet for expansion. I prefer to shoot Partitions or Ballistic Tip type bullets now.
