Anyone have experience with these? Ive never shot a Barnes bullet in my life, looking at a gun that was chambered for these. Playing with a ballistic calc these bullets don't seem to offer much on paper over the 75gr and 80gr ELD. More drop and about the same wind. Wanting to shoot 600-1000y local F class and stretch it out for fun on my own. Ive been wanting to shoot the 75/77 and 80gr Hornady and Sierra stuff since I can source them fairly easily and they seem to perform well enough. Not looking for magic out of a 223 and I understand the limitations. Components are easily sourced and relatively cheap as far as bang for your buck. Anyone have any experience/thoughts?
