No replacemtn for displacement IMHO. And by that I mean be suited for the worst task you may have at hand.

Having seen cup and core come apart, and even stop on small critters like 50 pound pigs, the only bullet I"ll trust any more is one by Barnes. Even the partition has left me scratching my head more than a few times.

For specific tasks about any bullet could do, but when I want to load one in the chamber that covers anything that I feel the need to pull the trigger on and have a positive outcome... Barnes gets the nod. Simple as that. When you see others not able to penetrate stem to stern on 150 pound deer, you tend think differently.

Though ideally one could argue for what you do in fur bullets, fast and fragile, gets in far enough, explodes and has NO exit. IE dead, and no meat loss.
