Reviews and comments written for the Barnes Banded Solids bullet.
 
Experience is with load workup and African experience with the 450 grain .458 banded solid. The new banded solids are more accurate and faster then older counterparts. Expect 50 fps faster speed with same powder/charge compared to older solid. (2480 fps) Cape Buffalo droppped with one shot in shoulder/neck area... hard to say if just spectacular or decidely miraculous.... the buffalo ran less than 75 feet before piling up. Additional solid to anchor shot into spine back of shoulder tore out 5 inch diameter hole through spine. The large meplat must be considered the main advantage to this bullet... Elmer Keith would have approved. This is a solid that performs like a soft nose in difficult shots.
