How do you convince somebody to switch ammo brands?

I grew up in Nebraska and have been hunting all my life. I have used all kinds of ammo to take all kinds of animals and now I am sold on Barnes bullets. I personally just can't see using any other type of bullet. They have been far more accurate than anything I have used in the past. Now that I live in Florida and my uncle does too, we don't get to shoot as much as we would like. We always spend a day or two on the range when we get home to get used to the condition differences from hot and humid Florida to COLD and dry Nebraska. Usually the rifles are pretty close, but sometimes we have a bit of a time getting them sighted in. For the past few years, I have been trying to get him to give barnes a chance and I just can't sell it. Maybe when he see's how good my 300 RUM shoots this year he will give it a try. I guess what i'm trying to do is make sure that my hunting partners have just as accurate of guns as I do by purchasing quality ammo to shoot in them. I have a friend who is going with me for the first time this year who just bought a new 30-06 and I am going to try and get him a trophy Muley. I tried to get him to wait until we go by Bass Pro or Cabelas to get some good ammo, but I think he went to Wal Mart and bought whatever they had last night. I sure hope it works out for him. Thanks
