Anyone use Barnes DPX / Hex Bullets?

[147 Grain]

Anyone have data or experience with 45 caliber Barnes copper bullets?

CorBon loads 160-gr. and 185-gr. in their DPX line-up and PMC loads the same 185-gr. as its Hex Bullet.

Thank-you in advance of your feedback.

I have been using the Taurus Total copper HP's in my PT-145. I believe they are the same bullet. I have had no failures of any kind in the approximately 2 years I have been using them. They also gave me the best grouping out of several premium brands that I tested. Go for it!

CorBon's 160-gr. / 185-gr. DPX or PMC's 185-gr. Hex Bullet? Any penetration test data?

The DPX expands in tissue as well as anyJHP, penetrates through barriers better [sheet metal etc] and is very accurate. Going through sheet metal it doesn't make a hole like other JHPs but cuts a hole like a cookie cutter.
