    Just wondering if its worth trying them. Im pretty happy with the barnes so far.
    Maybe see a difference at LR, but otherwise I doubt it there will be much point in changing considering the price.
    I plan to use them for some comps and LR varmiting.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    I was thinking more about expansion. The 55 Barnes can pencil at longer ranges and I think the 62 Barnes would be worse. Just thought the swifts might be a bit softer at longer range. Have you got the 62 grn swifts?

    What about the Nosler 64gr Solid Base bullet, lower BC but I think the expansion would be beter.

    Too late I have given them away to a new shooter, but if you PM me a price for the 62g .224's and also a box of 130g 6.5 I could be interested.

    My other and (usual source) has had a schedule change so not thru LAX as often as the previous once a fortnight
