I would agree with that. The Barnes developed a bit of a following amongst bush hunters using chopped and suppressed rifles. By using a light for caliber Barnes, you still got good velocity out of a short barrel and good terminal performance at bush ranges, as well as the ability to knock something over on a slip 300yd away. But give me a decent conventional projectile any day (preferably something heavyish), they perform just as well in the bush and are more consistent at 300yd+with the advantage of less wind drift. Speer btsp, hornady eldx, anything along those lines is good
