[QUOTE="flur60, post: 615788, member: 30858"] Edmon, My x-bolt perfers 165 - 168 gr. bullets (Noslers, Hornady & Barnes). I tried 150's & 180's with OK results but the rifle shines with 168 gr. Barnes TSX's. My load of choice is: Remington Brass, Winchester LR Primers, 51.0 gr. of IMR-4064, & Barnes 168 gr. TSX bullets. The bullet needs to be seated .055" - .060" off the lands for it to perfrom well. Best group to date is 4 shots @ .131". Average group is a little less than .500". If you crowd the lands the group will open up significantly (like 2" @ 100 yds) That load is pushing the upper limits for that powder so start lower and work your way up. Try it, you'll like it! Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
