[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 127209, member: 3728"] [b]Lefty, some simple basics to re-think..[/b] I shoot some of the Barnes Tripple shock bullets, they are very accurate and foul less than a Nosler bullet for sure. What is an absolute about the Barnex Tripple shock bullets is that they like a certain amount of Bullet jump. When you find that "sweet spot", it's like hitting a home run. In most of my hunting, the first shot is the most important shot. I can count on one hand the number of times that I have had to shoot more than one shot, and in almost every case, that was at running animals. Concentrate on making that first shot being the most accurate. The way that I accomplish this is to have the first shot seated longer to touch the lands or what ever bullet jump the gun likes. ON the second, third shots, the bullet is seated the longest that will fit in the magazine. I dip the brass that I intend to seat the bullet longer, in an instant blueing solution to a point just above the webb of the case, which turns the back end of the case a dark color, easily seen. Primers make more of a difference than most people would like to think. Some of the 7 Mag rifles will shoot a standard 9 1/2, others like the Fed 215 or CCI-250 and I have one gun that will only shoot the Win Mag primer accurately....you just never know. On these large magnums, when you are doing your test loading, you must clean your rifle anywhere between 12 rounds to 20 rounds, every gun is different, but I have experienced less copper fouling from the Barnes Tripple shock bullets than anyother bullet that I have ever fired. When you are shooting, let your barrel cool down. I cool my barrel by dousing the outside with rubbing alcohol on a paper towel, which cools the barrel in a couple of minutes, and you should oil the outside of the barrel when you are through shooting a blued barrel. Many of the posters have given you some great information, and we wish you luck on your rifle. [/QUOTE]
