[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 519234, member: 23486"] You aren't mixing the Barnes with conventional cup & core bullets are you? that will certainly degrade accuracy, as they are made of slightly different material my experiences tend to show SEVERE fouling while mixing the two types while shooting, especially with factory barrels (being usually rougher internally). If you are (I made that mistake as well), ensure you start with a very clean barrel before shooting the Barnes. I would also suggest following Barnes advise for bullet seating, start with .050 jump to the rifling. I've been shooting Barnes for years & have found that to be a great starting point. [/QUOTE]
