[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 735206, member: 20438"] Don't be afraid to jump Barnes bullets, they like it. Also don't seat them closer than .040" to the lands. Solids will have a pressure spike if seated closer than this as these bullets do not obdurate. My 7STW 145 LRX load jumps .110" and groups in .5's in a factory barrel. I don't shoot the Barnes in my 338L. I only shoot Berger 300 Hybrids. Also, I don't agree with the opinion that Barnes bullets are softer. The original X was softer but the new ones do not have fouling issues in any of my rifles. This being said I don't shoot one type of bullet and then shoot another without cleaning the bore. Different jacket materials are not compatible and a harder one will tear up a softer one. [/QUOTE]
