I like them but couldn't get them to fly as well as 250gr expanders. Only thing I would gain anyway is little better BC.

They work quite well on deer and Boar as long as your velocity is up, like theShock Waves they need to have a muzzle velocity in the magnum range. Lee

Depending on what grain, my rifles like the Barnes bullets. And they are IMO one of the best on the market for long range and knock down.. if your rifle likes them.

They will put a hurt on anything u hit. My son shot a hog a couple of years ago and that bullet pulverized him. I use them in my old BK 92 Knight and the shoot pretty good. My grandson took 2 does this year using that ML. They did way more damage than the SW on our deer. Blood trail is awsome. Cost is the big thing. If u shoot much they can make it an expensive range session. Barnes bullets are great bullets in CF rifles and in my SW 50.
