[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 2232931, member: 110057"] So this experience has been with the LRX line of Barnes in 7mmRM, 300wm, 300RUM and 338LM… I have gotten 1” groups when following the seating depth directions of Barnes and starting at .050” then working back. But the best luck I have found was to simple seat the bullet at just barely below the front groove on the bullet so all we’re covered AND increasing neck tension from .002 to .0035 or more. Then groups shrank dramatically down to .5 or better. This idea was “unofficially” provided by a Barnes rep that I spoke to and was his personal experience. It is not scientific or something I can correlate to other bullets but it has worked on some but not all of the rifles. Others I just accepted as hunting rounds and chose to save my reloading resources. [/QUOTE]
