I've used Barnes (solid copper) bullets for a year or two in rifle and pistol loadings. Recently thought I'd try some 115 grain TAC-XP in the 9 mm. Unfortunately, and as happened before, the Barnes web site is a bit skimpy on reloading data. Only two powders are listed, Silhouette and Longshot, neither of which I have on hand and know nothing about. I sent an email to Barnes asking for more data. They responded that I should telephone. I called and was given data for W231 and Power Pistol and told they had data for several additional powders, but I had all I needed for the time being. The gentleman I spoke to (Russ) also mentioned Barnes is publishing a new reloading manual that includes a lot more data for their bullets and should be available by the end of this month. Look forward to that. In any case, they are nice folks, very helpful and they make a great product. A little pricey so maybe not for "plinking" but certainly good for anything "serious." Gerry
