[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 168966, member: 319"] I'm not sure how you can up the velocity and reduce recoil at the same time. Reduced friction bullets (such as moly coated, blue coated Barnes, etc) typically require [I]more[/I] powder to reach the same velocity as a regular bullet of the same weight. That's been my experience. That means more recoil (though only very slightly so). What they offer is the potential for more velocity at a given maximum pressure level. In other words, if you crank it up you'll be able to push them faster than other 130's before you run into pressure signs. But that doesn't help recoil. So, I don't see you gaining much in that area. Not in a significant or even noticable amount. However, I do believe they'll give you good penetration and terminal performance for their weight. Good enough to be worth the cost and hassle of getting them will be up to you to decide. [/QUOTE]
