The lightweights never seem to do as well overall as the 124-147's...If you don't adjust your sights they tend to hit lower too.

It expands very well, but under penetrates in clear gel by 1-2"

Nice design, but a tad light in weight. Like Buffman said they don't penetrate enough to get to the magic 12". It seems the magic number for SCHPs (Solid Copper Hollow Points) is 115. Theirs is 108. This MIGHT contribute to the lower penetration or it could be the design of the bullet itself. Many reports of Barnes 95 grain SCHPs making the 12 minimum.

Thanks for the responses everyone.  Looks like they have some work to do.  I'll stick with HST's and Gold Dots.
