we don't live in the 1970s or even 80s anymore.i agree with almost all I read.all these bullets and bullets manufactured today are damn good and solid performers for there intended design and use.i will agree that the barnes do hold together a little longer and can leave a smaller wound channel and exit especially at distance.i personally don't use them for deer hunting or thin skinned game that size or smaller.but they are a great bullet and for heavy big boned animals they are as good as any.just my opinion in this.i also wont use nosler partitions but many like and use them and for many years.to each there own.
