Out of all the Barnes ive probably shot more of the 300gr 458SOCOM bullet and the little 225gr XPB. The XPB i shoot pretty fast and the 300gr i shoot close to 1900fps. Basically the same speed as the actual 458SOCOM CF counterpart.

I usually don't shoot boattails but this bullet shoots so good in my 54-120 i cant help it

The 225gr XPB imo is the overlooked gem in the Barnes lineup. Its cheaper and works just fine for deer at the more common hunting distances. Plus i can swap out to the 225gr FTX for fun and the load is still safe.
