[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 115894, member: 1563"] Triggerfifty; So far every Barney bbl i have got has been good, several 408's, 338's and a 308. All have been under 1/2moa. I did have trouble with LRB 408 bullets in the past, they were to say the least, very eratic. I had several conversations with Warren about them also. He pretty much denied any thing wrong, i have heard they got rid of him but i have not used any of the LRB bullets since then. I still have several boxes left. We started using the Barnes bullets, they shoot very very good in the 408's. Aver groups are smaller than the LRB counterparts. We have AR400 steel plates at our range, and few mild steel plates left over. The 300gr MK at 800yds with make a 3/4" dia hole through the 5/8 thick mild steel plate.
