Barnes Making Shotgun Slug Ammo

[BOWHUNTERCOP]

Just saw this, maybe Vista (new owners of Remington Ammo) dropped Barnes.......If true I will try them, as I love Barnes from my muzzleloader as much as I love the Accutips from my 220. I emailed Barnes asking for a ETA on release date, when I know I will post

Those look like thor muzzleloader bullets in a shotgun hull.

Barnes has made thor bullets for a while now but never sold them u der the Barnes name. I wonder if the thor bulletcontract has changed

Vista had nothing to do with Barnes. Sierra was the winning bidder for Barnes @ $30.5 Million the first part of Oct.

Barnes has made these for years.

Barnes has made these for years.

the bullet yes but they never made the ammo, it's listed under new products.....they have in the past sold the bullets to Federal and they loaded them but then dropped them, remington took over but it seems they will be dropping it

Hopefully since Sierra took over, customer service will be better. Barnes never returned calls.

They were good slugs, I killed several deer with them but they are waaaay behind Black Magic Magnums.

Those tipped expanders are great in a muzzleloader, I'd imagine they'd rock in a rifled slug gun!
