Noticed this at the end of an email, where I've been talking to Barnes.
I had no idea.

I was just shocked. I guess it's kind if like Black n Decker owns Dewalt, Dewalt owns Stanley, Stanley owns Craftsman, and craftsman owns Kobalt.......or something like that lol

I asked them about using an LRX vs the TTSX. This was the reply

run the numbers yourself--- I don't really trust what some manufactures say
barnes claims that their tipped tsx bullets "promote faster expansion" and "immediate expansion" --faster than what?
I know a guy that tested the tsx and the ttsx for expansion in ballistic gel in 6 different cartridges/calibers --every in every case the tsx out "expanded" and out performed the ttsx --I have also seen plenty of ballistic gel tests with the ttsx and I have never seen "immediate" expansion--they usually take a few inches to start expanding

Stanley Black & Decker does own Dewalt(B&D acquired in 1960) and Craftsman, Porter Cable, Mac Tools, Proto, Blackhawk, Irwin, Bostitch and a few others! But they don't own Kobalt

I agree, anything from a manufacturer should be taken with a healthy dose of salt. Obviously they want you to use their products.

That's really disappointing to hear...I think I've bought my last Barnes product. I don't want any part of what Freedom Group touches after the garbage pile that they made Remington into.
Cerberus I believe is one of the equity owners in Freedom Group. That should tell you much.
Cerberus was the lead equity owner when our company where I worked for 38 yrs was taken over. For them it's all about the buy and sell and profit; only concerned about their products and their customers should sales start decreasing..... My experience.
