[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5039894, member: 15365"] Totally agree. Both are extremely good bullets. So many people get tipped Barnes ML bullets and never shoot at a distance that the tiny BC increase will mean squat. Expanders fly just fine for most common distances and expand more reliably than a tipped Barnes. Lehighs function a bit differently but are very dependable as far as performing as designed over a wide range of impact speeds. Penetration is usually better than the Barnes. I shoot the 45 Colt 225gr XPB version of the Barnes and the Lehigh 230gr CF. XPBs and Expander MZs are very similar. That little Barnes at 2300fps is just nasty medicine for deer. Excellent bullet for guys wanting to shoot reduced recoil loads also. [/QUOTE]
