LAST EDITED ON Oct-29-13 AT 01:53AM (MST)[p]Feel bad for you guys. I really like barnes bullets for hunting, but would sure hate to be told i had to shoot them.
You guys that are forced to go forward with copper, keep in mind they like to go fast and spin fast..meaning if you dont have the twist to spin them drop down in weight, I am not talking about merely stabilizing the bullet like you would a lead one, i've found that faster spin GREATLY improves expansion on these types of bullets. this is nothing new, Jack Carter recommended the same thing years ago when shooting his TBBC, which was lead but a very stout bullet ..i can promise you guys if you think a 168 grain mono copper is going to perform like its lead counterpart in your 7mm you will be disappointed..drop down to the 145LRX and you will have a smile on you face, they perform trust me.
same goes with all calibers, if shooting a 308, 150gr and below, 30-06'300 mags 168's to 180's..I'm sure you see what i'm gettin at.
