[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1615559, member: 54383"] I may be able to share my experience. I started with lead and said I’d never change. Then I changed my mind when watching how the Barnes made a .223 a much better hog rifle. Then I had times where they didn’t work worth a crap. So I found cutting edge. They seemed to be a perfect blend between lead and Barnes. You can read where I sing the praise all over. Then I tried hammers, even better than cutting edge. I was sure it was possible but it is. Every load from lowest charge to highest was under .5” groups. They have amazing terminal performance on top of it. Now you won’t find any Barnes being used by me. Very few ceb and many hammers. To say either is a knock off is dumb. You kinda sound like the old guys that said fuel injection is crap. Only to realize later how ignorant you where. By your logic you should still be driving a model t because they were the first to mass produce a car. Was Barnes the first mono? Doubt it. First to sell at mass production yep. If you are never willing to try something else you should still shoot a flint lock. [/QUOTE]
