Wondering if anyone here shoots the Barnes ammo in your guns and how did it shoot as far as accuracy and knock down power. Reason I ask is I shot them for a long time in my slug gun with awesome results and also shot them in my muzzleloader with great results. I know Core-Lokts and Silvertips work great and are cheaper but in my experience, the Barnes penetrate so much deeper. I know they are more expensive but when that buck of a lifetime shows up I want all the fire power I can get. Several times just before I pulled the trigger the buck suddenly turned and had a rear entry shot but shooting the Barnes in my slug gun it always went almost the full length of the deer every time. I don't mind paying about $2.00 for a shell already loaded when I have spent so much every where else, It's worth every penny especially not to have my deer cross the creek and go onto posted property before expiring. This happened to me a few years ago on a monster buck shooting Hornady 240 grain XTP's in my muzzleloader. I guess I had such good success in my other guns with Barnes I am thinking about them for our Marlin rifles. Midway had them listed for $37.50 in the Federal loading. They would only be used for hunting and the Remington Core-Lokts for general shooting as they are also excellent bullets.
