Or did you just go off what was on the package?
Very good point. Barnes bullets are very inconsistent in weights. The best thing to do with them is weigh before shooting. Those numbers are based on what the package say's. I agree, those numbers are probably not accurate.
So you can't say whether or not they actually did shed any of their weight. Not saying that it's a good thing if Barnes' bullets are actually inconsistent in weight. How do you know this is so? Have you weighed brand new Barnes bullets before and discovered this? Just wondering....
I weighed many brand new Barnes bullets in the past. None in the last couple years. The last time was 300grn Barnes Originals. They varied by 3grns easily. So did Hornady as well.You obviously have found the same as i, or you wouldn't of made the comment about package weights. Inmost hunting situations it's in material.
The bullets were not weighed before hunting. So the recovered bullet weights are not accurate.
