Here is my tale of woe regarding Barnes Bullets. A few years ago I loaded up 60 Barnes x bullets for my 9.3x74. Velocity was around 2250 to shoot to regulation.

Off to Africa to do some Zebra and Wildebeest culling.

Somewhere between 40 and 50 rounds shot and I noticed the rifle was loose. Since we were busy and I didn't have time to screw around I kept shooting until I had shot almost all of them.

The rifle was plainly off face at this point. I sent it back to Belgium to be repaired. Since then I have shot over 500 rounds of Woodleighs through it with no problems and the rifle is as tight as it was when I got it.

Not scientific but good enough for me. I approached Randy Brooks about it at SCI and got a shrug and a tough luck, must have been a bad batch etc.

My conclusion is, Why would anyone need to use anything other than Woodleighs? They work, they are designed for Double Rifles, they are available, they are as accurate as any and they do not do damage.

Why screw around with other products when you already know what the best product for the best results is?
