Or Hornady or ...?Maybe overkill338 is a disgruntled former employee of CE?
I think some folks just get set in their ways and quit learning. Any new idea after the ways "set" is a threat to their knowledge . Some folks mumble under their breath and move on to a thread that agrees with them. Some get fighting mad and get heck bent to change everyone's mind to suit theirs. And that concludes my psychological lesson for today

Referring to the article where he says bullet makers jumped on the copper bullet bandwagon when the anti lead bs started. I don't believe that is true of Barnes. As best as I can recollect they started making the original X bullet in the early 1980's.

We started making our bullets because we preferred the terminal performance. Not because of legislation. I would prefer no legislation.

That's good to hear. I moved from Wy. to Ca.. my job ends here on the 26th. I'm moving back or to Id.. The no lead bullet law here went into affect this month. Glad I won't be here and be very happy to get out of this socialist dictator controlled state. Good riddens.
The ironic part of it is that I would of been using Hammer bullets anyway , lead ban or not. I had used Barnes for many years. Somtimes Bergers.

Ok. I give up....
Does anyone not think that it is weird that he is griping about bullets that give the best of both worlds? A bullet that penetrates and fragments so you get his "so called" energy dump and two holes? The guy is contradicting his contradictions.
Bleeding from tissue damage is what matters period! If it wasn't the case, you would never kill anything with a broadhead and the Indians would have died a long time ago. That's why bergers and Hammer bullets are so devastating because they fragment and cause a lot of internal damage to organs. Seems pretty simple no?

Yes all true, but this is something the OP has ONLY "looked at" makes no mention of using said bullet! typical keyboard "expert" LOL.
Even our mesolithic ancestors know how to optimize flint broadhead size for the animals they hunted. The rules of thumb carry over into hunting bullets today!
Here is a discussion based in part on their insights: http://shootersnotes.com/ideal-bullet-weight/defining-ideal-bullet-weight/
Like maybe Supercaliberfragalistic?
When a person has a truly negative experience with a manufacturer or product I think this is an incredible forum to help make others alert to possibilities that it may happen to them. Just a heads up! But to bash a product that one hasn't EVEN TRIED... I find extremely narrow minded! If they were available in Canada I would definitely be loading some. Most of the crew here speak very highly of them
Do you have any of your bullets on a store shelf in DALLAS? .308, 6.5, .339. I'm here for 3 more days
