[QUOTE="dakor, post: 11108, member: 2204"] The main thing I guess why I have luck with the Barnes is I load them to fit in the magazine box so I would say I am 120 to 140 thousands off the lands you cannot load them close to the lands they just do not seem to shoot as well at least in the rifles I have shot them in. I for one dont believe you have to be close or right on the lands for accuracy I load all my loads to fit in the magazine box I am a walking hunter so to speak and I dont carry a table with me I take long shots when they come kneeling or with a bipod and I am good out to 500 to 600 yards (I know that these shots are chip shots to alot of folks on here) but I do not get to pick my shots sometimes they happen at 20 yards sometimes at 500 that is the way it goes.
