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

GSC has been mentioned a number of times so, for the record, our position on the mono bullet in a double rifle debate is simple: If a double rifle delaminates as a result of using GSC drive band bullets in it, we will pay for the repair.
Even less reason to worry about whether Barnes is suitable
For me, the real debate is whether the drive-band solid is actually superior to the full length FMJ........
I'm pretty sure I can anticipate what a few responses will be!
A truncated cone flat nose solid is better than a round nose solid for penetration. North Fork and GS Custom have truncated cone flat noses. Barnes does not.
Maybe the best of both worlds wll turn out to be the non-truncated cone flat nose 500gr Hornaday steel jacketed, lead cored solid.
Even though the flat noses are better for penetration, the .458", 500gr round nose steel jackets solid Woodleighs I've used at 2145fps MV have provided enough. The 450gr North Forks at 2190fps MV have provided quite a bit more than enough.

Not sure if you or anyone else saw the test done by HANDLOADER MAGAZINE" sometime ago--but it was amazing in the difference the truncated solids had versus the round...it also explained the theory as to why this happens..I am sure if anyone is interested you could get on their web site and find the info..
Question presented in the article was on feeding..some rifles it was stating had problems with it..
Not sure if that is accurate..I have not had any problems what so ever...
