[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 31178, member: 1007"] [b]Re: BC \'s effect on POI[/b] winmagman, I always give barnes a try, I just have found only a few loads and usually only 1 load per rifle that will shoot em well. I had a load for my old VSSF 308 that shot the XBT 165 at 2900 FPS. That was with out the coating. Oh and it was about a .5 MOA load. My weatherby didnt shoot any of them well and my current 788 and 700 308's each have ONE load they shoot well with the barnes. I get out of my 700 the 150 XBT/XLC 2900 and .6 MOA accuracy.
