[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 186087, member: 313"] Actually Barnes will tell you the opposite is true with any of their X bullets. Barnes recommends starting with their bullets .050" OFF the rifling and working from there. I have found good accuracy with TSX bullets as much as .150" off. No - that's not a typo, I'm talking about more than 1/10th of an inch. Barnes X bullets are funny creatures but most often they prefer a jump to the rifling for best accuracy. One thing I might add: Barnes bullets shoot the WORST when there is any other gilding metal jacket material in the bore. If you think the bore is squeeky clean then run a few patches of an aggressive copper remover (CR-10 or similar) down the bore and wait the maximum time recommended on the bottle. If the patches show any blue/green at all, I'd try cleaning a little more before experimenting with these (expensive) bullets. [/QUOTE]
