[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1256770, member: 67011"] I've also came to the understanding that there is no perfect bullet, and things will go wrong when you least expect it. I've also seen people make a bad shot, and blame the bullet for not killing the animal on the spot. I have no idea how many critters I've killed with lead core bullets, but I'm very confident that I've exerianced all the pros and cons of using them. The solid copper idea has interested me for a while, and I wanted to experiment. The research I did on the Barnes lead me to believe it was a solid bullet that held together, had potential for decent accuracy, but required a certain amount of velocity to expand. I spent a lot of time reading different posts about them, and still came to the conclusion that I wanted to try them in the 30/06. I don't feel they would be practical in my 260, but I will continue playing with them in the 30/06. Out here, 500yds is an extremely far shot. And that rifle really isn't set up to shoot past that anyway. I have a feeling the Barnes bullets will do exactly what I was wanting them to do in that rifle, but time will tell. It's a shame next year is so far away. [/QUOTE]
