The free Barnes "X" bullet DVD is very informative with superb graphic's.
However, I do have problem with that of Barnes Bullet in this otherwise fine and free DVD, "proving" that the Barnes "Triple Shock" is more accurate that other hunting bullet, when these different brand, but same bullet weight are loaded with identical powder, bullets, primers, cases and velocity.
It was all to easy for the people at Barnes Bullet, as well as for any other reloader to make a load that is super accurate for one particular bullet, but as all we handloader know to well, just changing to a different brand of bullet, even when keeping the same bullet weight, powder, primer, case and velocity, will produce a different point of impact, and less accurate than the super accurate handload that is this case of the Barnes "Triple Shock" loads is developed for it's promotional, and free DVD that is distributed to anyone who asked for it.
But as they say in the marketing world "little bull go long way" :twisted:
In the same way, I could easily make very accurate and identical 30-06 handloads in for example 165 grain, 30 caliber bullet from Speer or Hornady that would be less accurate for the 165 grain, 30 caliber Barnes "Triple Shock" bullets and so on.
Factors like sectional density, shape, ballistic coefficiency and different lenght of the bullets, etc, will all affect the point of impact differently for identical loads with different bullets.
