    Copper Projectile Accuracy... Barnes GMX etc..

    Hey..

    I have had some experience with Barnes projectiles over the years, and what I have found is that in general they are less accurate than Nosler BT, Hornady Amax, Berger bullets... actually in general I find them less accurate than most cup n' core projectiles.

    They seem to require extensive load development to get them to shoot acceptably and even with that are never quite as good as most other options...

    Is that the same with other solid copper options like the GMX etc... and comparably do the others perform as effectively on game?

    Cheers
