not knowing any better.... that's why i picked up a box of barnes when i first got my AR setup for lion calling... i simply didn't know it was a poor choice... luckily they didn't shoot well compared to many other rounds i also tested... it wasn't until reading this thread that i realized they were a poor choice in .223... now it makes perfect sense.Aside from living in a sh!thole state that requires monos, WHY would you choose to shoot them out of a 223 for anything?!?!
i was starting to lean on Barnes for all of my rifles before reading this thread, but this whole thread changed my perspective on bullet choice in general, not just for the .223.
nobody really does a good job explaining why they choose a match style, or soft bullet for hunting in general... they are popular, but most don't seem to know why they choose them over a tougher bullet, they just buy their long range rig and use match bullets because others do.... this thread shed light on the "why" of someone choosing a softer hunting bullet, which makes sense to me now that i understand why.
most info packed thread on any hunting forum imo
