So, you have spinning razor blades that drive through the animal to destroy flesh and exit leaving a huge blood trail.
A bullet that squashes down into a blob can't do that kind of damage.
An added benefit is no lead in an animal i'm going to eat.
A little extra cost is well worth it.
Again as i stated, real close for 1/2 the price.and i am not or never have been worried about a little lead. it's a non issue as far as any health concern.the only area where the Barnes really out shines the gold dot, is major bones hits. for most hunting situations the gold dot is a excellent bullet.Ray
