Looking for some feedback on this .308 bullet designed for the 300 Blackout. Wandering how they perform at supersonic speed or in a larger case.
Thanks in advance.
 
I haven't used that bullet so I don't know but I would think worst case it would shed petals and the shank would penetrate.

A guy on a now defunct forum loved these in his 30-30 AI out of a Contender Carbine. I don't think muzzle velocity was more than 2800 fps but they did awesome for him on deer and hogs. By far the softest Barnes copper bullets I've ever seen. I'm sure they'd work fine at even higher velocity but definitely would shed some petals.
 
Try these! I'm shooting Hammers in 6 different rifles now. Poor expansion in Barnes led me to Hammers 4 years ago. They are amazing, deadly, easy to load and accurate.

I did look at the 101gr Hammers but Barnes are over 1/2 the price less. I do have Hammers loaded in 3 calibers but the tipped Barnes have done so well for me.
