There’s an appropriate saying for this situation, my friend…

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Stay with what “works”… the Nosler Bullets.  Why create problems for yourself?

I gave up on Barnes bullets. I tried them in several calibers and the only ones I could get decent groups with were in 270 Win. Even those wern't as good as other bullets. I will say that Barnes bullets do a good job when it comes to terminal ballistics.

Only shooting Speer 50 TNT's in my Deuces now days - they love them and they are a bunch cheaper than NBT's or the semi customs.   Diggers to coyotes are no problem for them.

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
