Which 155 Barnes bullet...was it the TAC-XP? ???
Was this ammo from Barnes or the Buffalo Bore loaded with Barnes bullets?  ???

This is Littlestone's 1200 FPS load where they use the Barnes bullet:

Seems weak given Buffalo Bore is 1400+. I would like to see what both do in gel as a comparison.

OK It's a Littlestone's product with Barnes 155 TAC-XP... they were close to the marked velocity... 8)
