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

Here we have a company, Barnes, going the extra mile to convince the skeptical it is OK to shoot Barnes bullets in doubles. I mean, Barnes is really pushing it, eliminating all excuses and making the job of a plaintiff with male threads on the length of his $100,000 barrel a no-brainer.

To repeat; That someone takes them up on it and wrecks his gun because of their bullets seems like an easy task to prove...if it is true.

It seems to me a ridiculously easy task to prove OSR. Have some curious gunsmith turn a barrel to whatever diameter you like, screw the thing to an action, type irrelevant, and start shooting Barnes bullets. After a while, shine a light on the tube.

I have no dog in this fight. I do not own a single double. However, I have read of OSR and the other ills involving Barnes bullets for a long time and have yet to read one clearly documented case of damage caused by Barnes slugs to a double.

I read the theoretical risks, and some aspects of them look totally plausible, but whenever somebody asks for names, dates, conditions, rifle, bullets, loads and measurements, such info is not forthcoming.

Gas blowby with undersize bullets seems plausible and is fairly well accepted, tho caused by more bullets than what are commonly shot in a fellow's double I suppose {???}. OSR maybe so in light of the thin barrels being suggested.

But Barnes has a name, address and phone number. Those who say differently do not. To be blunt, I'm just trying to figure out if the naysayers have an interest in somebody's else's product because I sincerely do not know the answer to that question, and I believe it is an honest and legitimate question to ask. No insult intended either to Barnes or those who condemn them.

Daryl's layout of the issues strikes me as reasonable. If there are facts and figures not so far presented, I'd love to read of them.

Very interesting post.
