to not having a lead core. That is a problem with the Barnes bullets. They tell you to drop your load by 15% to keep the pressures down. The only time I ever use a solid is when hunting dangerous game. Steve Hornady sent me some of his new DGS (Dangerous Game Solids) and his new DGX (Dangerous Game Expanding) bullets. My PH told me to use the expanding bullet on my Cape Buffalo and it did fine. So I didn't even get to try the solids. But for anything smaller than a 1500 lb Buffalo or 700 lb bull elk I would stay away from solids.
