I don't remember if it was Remington, but I know it was the Cerberus group that bought Barnes. Cerberus also owns Remington and quite a few other firearm companies.

What Hog hunting said! They are both owned by the same company. I read an article last night about "VorTX" ammo that Barnes just came out with. It is actually being manufactured and loaded by Remington at their AK. plant. It has a Barnes head stamp.

I have to agree with JDHogg in hoping nothing changes with Barnes. Just tried their 168gr TTSX in my new Sako A7 in 300 WSM. I was working up a load so just loaded 2 shells for each different load. First two shots touched and the remainder of the loads were within 1/2 " or less. Best grouping I have had out of any rifle. I worked up a load using Nosler Accubonds in 180gr and the accuracy was not near as good.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.

But, but, but, sir. The panjandrums who write articles for the gun rags claim that premium priced bullets are guaranteed to turn a gutshot into a bang flop 100 percent of the time.
