[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2647057, member: 114992"] Limited experience, only tried the .25 cal 110gr. BC was quite high for copper, as advertised. Terminal performance similar to Barnes, maybe a little more terminal damage. Behind the shoulder gave me small exit wounds, good but not as impressive as hammers. Shot in the shoulder produced a couple bang flops and devastating damage. Saw some evidence of petals shearing off and the shank tumbling through (which I have no problem with). Only killed a handful of pigs and deer so not great sample size. Easier to find an accurate load than Barnes, not as easy as a hammer. Strictly my opinion: terminal performance Barnes<BD2<hammer Ease of load development Barnes<BD2<hammer BC/long range capability Hammer<Barnes<BD2 Both BD2 and hammer readily available, Barnes not so much. Sounds they they will be a good option for what you need. Try to him them in the shoulder blade if you’re looking for that bang-flop. [/QUOTE]
