Jabali, are barnes bullets really a driving band design even now? I've only used them in 30-06 on caribou and loaded but not used their solid in 375, but my understanding is that even the grooves between the bands is larger than the bore diameter. Can anyone confirm this? I don't have one here to measure.

I'm just curious, I have no intention of using one in a double. Woodleigh's do just fine, and I see no need to take even a remote chance for a dubious gain.
