[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1223836"] I shoot a lot of Barnes and other copper. I shoot them in my 260 I will admit I have not yet had the time to load the 127LRX If it were me: Use a standard primer. Seat deeper/farther from the lands. I never expose more than the first groove band. Use H4350 or Reloader 17 (I have no data for the new reloader 16, I want it though). Go fast or go home. Last: This is a hunting rifle. What I see in your groups is perfect 2 shots with minor barrel heating. The third, the barrel has flexed down and right from heat. It does not take as much as you might think. Because there is consistency in the groups, you have a predictable situation. If you can repeat this over and over then change one thing at a time. The first thing I would change is time. Time between shots. Like "Andrea True" said "More, More, More". Some day I'll make the "thing" that let's me measure barrel flex from heat without actually shooting the rifle. [/QUOTE]
