[QUOTE="woods, post: 242937, member: 6042"] This statement is half wrong and half right and the first part is an opposite of the second conclusion. Off of the Barnes website: "These grooved rings act as relief valves as bullet metal flows under pressure while traveling down the bore. Instead of flowing from the front to the base of the bullet, the copper material expands into the grooves. This results in reduced pressures and less copper fouling. Reduced pressures mean the bullet can be safely loaded to higher velocities." So the all copper bullets develop LOWER pressures with the SAME AMOUNT of powder but you do nee to add more powder to get the same pressure value. Not trying to bust your chops, just didn't want anyone getting confused. [/QUOTE]
