[QUOTE="snox801, post: 3023289, member: 54383"] I wouldn't call it bashing more so better options have come about. I used to shoot Barnes. But I simply found a much better bullet in cutting edge. Then the hammers were much better than those. Barnes are ok but they have a downfall now f being harder than hammers and cutting edge. They are made to mushroom not shed. Which is not quite as good. Most cup core shed some weight that's why they are so good. I kill a lot of animals roughly 100 big game a year. I can say that over several years using each Barnes were ok but not in the same league as cutting edge or hammer. In fact they would be last on my list for monos. I'd still be shooting a lot of cup core if Barnes were the only option. Many products have long runs with success but as time moves on the get better products to market. Nosler partition had been killing things for longer than most doesn’t make it the best bullet by today’s standards. Maybe a better bc and tipp it could be but it simply is not. [/QUOTE]
