Re: Barnes bullets in a Double --as per Barnes Newsletter-??

9Three,
I'm pleased to see that you brought up the fact about the bullet being engraved/sized in the heavy barrel section forward of the chamber.




Very true.
Also, I would like to see a cross section of a fired Woodleigh which has its lead core protruding from the bottom as JPK mentions. I'm guessing that Ripps original post shows an unfired sectioned FMJ Woodleigh. If this actually happens, deformation of the interior walls would show that the bullet is being "squeezed" in the bore, supporting the "hard shell - chewy center" theory. Difficult, though, to say this happened in the barrel and not on impact.
Secondly, I find it interesting that this has stoked such debate.
I would suspect that the double rifle fraternity makes up for less than 1% of Barnes' sales and with such a variety of tried and tested bullets on the market, why bother? IMO, unless you are shooting an elephant, you simply don't need monosolid bullets, and in reality, not even then.
