I don't have much experience with these bullets. Is there any reason to believe they would be any more likely to Jam or misfeed than other hollowpoint designs? I have only shot maybe 50 rounds total. It just seems with the extra OAL and the massive cavity it might present some issues. I noticed That Barnes is now loading thier own ammo and are putting some type of proprietary coating on the bullet. They must think the coating is necessary. I have stuff from Black hills and Corbon loaded with these bullets without the Coating. What do you guys think?
