[QUOTE="LaVec, post: 2883602, member: 104846"] Hey guys, I have a funny 7 STW story to tell... A few years ago, I was working loads up for an Elk hunt. I loaded Barnes TSX 160's, and Accubond 140's ( for the first time ever ). Before then, I had only shot 160's. After awhile, my friend says, your "small" bullets group better than your "big" ones. He called them small ones because the holes on paper were noticeably smaller with the 140's. It hit me like a ton of bricks... the diameter should have been identical!!! For YEARS, I had been shooting a 160gr TSX bullet that wasn't fully stabilizing! This story took place at 100 yds. My rifle is a Weatherby Accumark with 1: 10 twist, if I remember correctly. During that same period, I had tried 168 Barnes LRX's and they keyholed 90 degrees at 100 yards. So... for some reason, my rifle doesn't quite stabilize a 160 gr Barnes TSX. [/QUOTE]
