[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 34711, member: 2011"] Bought a box of Barnes XBTs in hopes of doing some prep work for this season. Was warned that they were "finikie" but was supprised by what happened. Accuracy was a bit off but pressures were high to the point of blowing primers with what has been pretty much a standard load for 140 gr Hornady/Sierra Game Kings etc. Dropped powder and still blew a primer. Did some measureing. Diameter fluctuated from < .277 to > than .277 and were way out of round. Figure they would work well if I dropped velocity off a couple of hundres FPS but I'm not going to settle for that. Just my tho'ts. [/QUOTE]
