My hunting partner of 40 years and I have been hunting with these extra heavy Barnes Original bullets for caliber round nosed bullets forever. I have a 1950's FN Belgium Mauser in .270 Winchester. He has a 7x57 Mauser ( That I sold him) and an original 1895 Winchester in 30-40, and uses the 195 gr and 250gr bullets respectively.
These bullets have a super thick copper jacket and lead core.
My 270 180 gr. RN has a SD of .332. It penetrates forever and allowed my .270 to "grow up". When I lived in Wyoming and hunted antelope in the Wind River range's high mountain meadows, thick with grizz. I always used them for antelope.
Using these bullets in fine old rifles has been pleasure. They are not tack drivers but will hold just over moa at 100 yards.
