When refering to the Barnes bullets, I was talking about the TSX bullets, not the Varmint Grenades.

fuelpincher, I can honestly say that I haven't tried paper out past 300yds. For the longer range shooting I like to use gongs. With the Vmax 40 and 50 grainers I can hit a 12" gong at 500yds. The time I went out past 300yds with the 52gr tsx's it was on a gong that was 1mt square. So from what...
