Yes - I left out mentioning the Barnes as a tough bullet.  

Mostly because when many of the first Barnes X including variations on it like coatings and such... I did not achieve the same accuracy, acquiring in my opinion a total looser with the worst kind of fouling, along with getting POI that had little to no translation with anything else.  First and foremost I am not a fan of picky guns and persnickety bullets.

Since those X days I haven’t taken a crack at them for a second time around.

This does not rule out me trying the newest Barnes Triple or the variation I am most interested in using… the newest blue tipped version w/ the Tungsten rear core!

Also saw mention to both the .375 WBY and the .378 WBY… should not really compare the two – pretty dog gone dissimilar critters (like in a different ballpark) other than the bullets themselves.
