[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 683135, member: 23486"] I still utilize some of the Barnes XLC coated bullets (6.5- 140's). They discontinued the manufacture of the XLC at roughly the same time (running from memory here) as the original X bullet. Coincidence? With solid copper acutally being softer than the guilding metal used in the jacket of todays "normal" bullets, I would tend to think you would see more compression/deformity as the bullet enters the lands? I understand difference in thickness of a jacket vs full copper construction but one would think a softer surface will deform faster & easier. Maybe i'm crazy....:D gun) [/QUOTE]
