The huge hollow point - I shoot a couple of bullets with the huge hollow point and find that they work for me very well, even at extended ranges.

I think we sometimes project in our mind what a bullet should look like and the huge hollow point des not fit that projection. Most of us, but not all, kinda have migrated to the ML world after shooting high powered - high velocity - sharp nosed - areo dynamically designed bullets with really decent powder charges. We then try to project that in the world of ML shooting. I have resigned myself to the fact that a ML will not be a high powered flat shooting rifle, at best it will out do a 45-70 - but what is wrong with that?

Since you are somewhat a Barnes fan look back at the hollow points in some of there more successful offerings, especially the older Barnes. Until we, the public, changed their perception they offered a bunch of get down to work bullets.

Hope your tests go well - I am hoping to get out today to get some shooting in with some Speer 10 mil - 180 grain hollow points myself.
