Title: What would you hunt with this ammo?
Post by: The Big Game Hunter on May 12, 2025, 11:47:02 AM: Barnes just released their new Harvest Collection" line of ammunition.
Here are all the details about available cartridges, the bullets this ammo is loaded with, how two different loads performed for me at the range, and how those loads performed in ballistic gel.
What game would you feel comfortable hunting with this ammunition? And what cartridge would you use?

Will attempt again this year, if YTC opens up.

Very cool! Good luck on your hunt!
