I however like Barnes X bullets. No jacket or core to separate.
I just prefer not to use BT's on anything but paper. Ignore away!


Seriously? You don't know the difference? Doing a little research and I found pictures of the differences in like, 2 minutes.

2nd from the left is the "new" BT with a jacket just like the the AB, 2nd from the right.

The "old" BT, on the far right, a 150 gr 7mm BT with it's older, thinner jacket.

Thanks GSSP! I am not savvy enough to be posting pics like that, and I didn't know how I was going to convince shootbrownelk that he was seriously mistaken. Then I read down, and this awesomeness appeared!
