[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 187363, member: 7449"] I'll toss in my two cents. I think bullet manufacturers understand that its in their best interest to provide accurate/truthful data when it comes to bullets. Potential litigation being one if applied in a LE or even DOD type applications. The other is that we have the capacity to verify it if we choose to do so. The gun and shooting community is very fickle and the masses will gather for a lynchin just as quick as they will for an awards ceremony. Nothing more exotic than a chronograph and some ballistic software is needed to verify what manufacturers are publishing. I personally don't think its anything to get overly concerned about. If Barnes changed their published data then I would have to assume that they discovered an error in the information being passed or they changed the bullet's design somehow. What other explanation is their? Either way, they win and we win. Honesty is always the best policy. Good luck [/QUOTE]
