Was wondering what you plan to hunt with it. I do use Barnes bullets in my 300 win mag 175GR LRX I have takin a few elk and some nice mule deer with it. I tried the Barnes 200gr LRX and it went right through it and it also hit a rib and never opened up. The only good thing after tracking for 2 hours found the elk piled up down on edge of field not far from truck. I also was think about using the 130gr for white tail. But maybe in my 308.

About a month early for resurrections but okay. I can't imagine what one would hunt with a 130gr from a .300wm. Unless loaded down, that would be a screaming MV but, as earlier noted, the 130gr's don't have all that great a BC so their down range V's would be pretty sour. Unless you had one hell of a tough bullet, anything inside of 250 yards would probably look like it was hit by a grenade. That weight would even be a little on the light side for .308 or .30-06.
