Barnes 470 bullets

What is your opinion of the Barnes triple shock 470 bullet? Has anyone shot them? They are about .3" longer than Woodleighs.

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

They do a fine job fouling your barrels, terminally they work but personally I would shoot the Woodies, Northforks, and Swifts.

I have never seen anything foul as much as the BArnes, I gave away 2 boxes of .375

Where you using the new TSX? I have found they foul much less than Partitions, Northfork, or accubonds in all my rifles.

Not sure of DR. I use Wooleighs in my Merkle.

I use Barnes X and TSX in .338 WM, .375 H&H and .416 Rigby bolt rifles ... their performance has been flawless. But I do not use them in DRs.
