I do avoid the Barnes 275gr XPB and 200gr XPB made for 460S&W. Ive seen both fail to expand in the same media that worked beautifully with other all copper Barnes. Both of those bullets have small hollow points like the 285gr Spitfire which ive personally witnessed failing to expand on media and deer.
The XPBs with large hollow points like the 225gr XPB for 45 Colt and the 250gr XPB for 454 perform exactly like the 250gr and 300gr Expander MZs.
Ive shot a bunch of the 195gr BXs into jugs and various media. They appear to perform just fine but i shoot them far faster. The small HP though does concern me.
