It just gets stranger and weirder everytime this topic gets posted. I asked one of the Chapuis brothers face to face at the 2006 SCI convention whether Barnes bullets (specifically TSX and banded solids) were safe in his rifles. I was asking about my UGEX 9.3 X 74R. He hemmed around a bit and eventually decided not to answer the question. The SCI 2006 convention was after the reported barrel damage showed up on the net. To me it is very strange that one of the owners of the company didn't know about the apparent damage to one of his rifles with Barnes bullets. If the factory told Mr. "X" not to use them, why didn't the brother (Philip?) simply say "don't use them". That isn't too tough to say, at least IMO. Similarly, I respect 400NE's experience and have absolutely no reason to challenge his opinion. However, at the same SCI convention I asked Ms. Brooks personally what the story was with regard to their bullets and DR's. Both she and a custom loader that was in their booth at the time swore upon a "virutal stack of bibles" so to speak that the TSX and banded solids were OK in DR's. Being somewhat chicken in my view of things, I recently sold all of my Barnes 9.3mm TSX's and solids rather than shoot them and see what happened. Somewhere out there is an individual with enough money and time to take a DR and shoot the h*ll out of it with the aforementioned bullets and tell us what happens. Except for the cost of the rifle, I would do it. At that, a single rifle really proves nothing, but would lessen the pucker factor for others. FWIW Pilgrim
