bullet comparison: Barnes vs Lapua
I recently read an article that the Barnes X-Bullet is one of the preferred pig hunting bullets because it holds together for deep penetration, and for it's ability to power through bones and "everything" to make the killing shot. I'm using the 180-grain bullets, 2,700 ft/sec muzzle velocity.
Then yesterday I was doing some 'net surfing and read about Lapua Naturalis ammunition and their all-copper bullet, 180-grain, same muzzle velocity.
At first glance, it would seem the two bullets are quite similar.
I'd sure welcome the thoughts and opinions about these two bullets.
Thanks Much,
Carl
