Will

The Barnes that I have used sucked. I used them on one trip in a 9.3x74R and a 300 H&H. My partner used thme in his 300WBY Mag. I would not use a Barnes bullet on game if they paid me. (well if they paid enough maybe) When I want a solid I will use one. I don't want a bullet that does not open up no matter how far it goes after it goes through the animal.

All of the good things I have heard about Barnes have one thing in common, they were well placed. Out of 48 or so Zebra we shot one day with the 9.3 and the 300 WB only two were recovered, niether opened up and there is no evidence that the others did either. These were all 1 shot kills, through the neck, with a caliber size entrance and exit dispite hitting bone.
