[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2820446, member: 75451"] I know that you had some bad experiences with the Barnes bullets, but my limited experience with the original 270 grain X bullets (around ‘93) in my AI were very good! Accuracy was pretty fair (acceptable), velocity also acceptable and did what I expect of a hunting bullet…..penetrated very deeply with minimal to no weight loss! I didn’t experience the fouling that many reported….I suspect that my match/target grade (though a light contour) helped a great deal. Friends and wife had some fouling issues…..but, a thorough hand-lapping of the rifle barrels improved the fouling issues a great deal. The bullets continued to work as expected! 😉 The Barnes bullets only improved over the years….I suspect with a lot of testing by Barnes and input from hunters! As their bullets improved, I followed their progress by buying the newer version with the exception of the “moly” bullets…..never did like the “moly” stuff! memtb [/QUOTE]
