Thing about Barnes bullets is they buy different lots of copper to make their bullets. You cannot count on the metallurgy of the copper being consistent from lot to lot. Therefore different results as you can see. Good and bad.
Roll the dice.
I did and lost on multiple occasions.
That does make a lot of sense and why some have had good results others have had poor. I have had good luck with them other than some rifles don't shoot them all that well. I've only had one brand and make of bullet that was a complete failure on game. It is a very popular bullet and possibly I got a bad production run.
