[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 23201, member: 25"] I believe that it is fair to say that every rifle makes its own rules about bullets and a lot of other things. So far the Barnes bullets have been shooting well in the test rifle, and I am pleased that Dave and Brent are also getting good accuracy. We killed a mule deer buck with it the other day and hope to recover the bullet when the carcass is skinned. No doubt some rifles won't, we shot the Barnes bullet in two Savage Tacticals and accuracy was more in the 1.0"-1.5" range, but the loads weren't tailored to each rifle as they should have been. Only one way to find out how they will work in your rifle and that is to give them a fair try - which can be a pain in the butt and pocket-book given the variables to consider. I understand that the degree of precision used to make this bullet has been enhanced as compared to most of the Barnes X bullets - that is why they expect better accuracy and usually get it. [/QUOTE]
