[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1755762, member: 75451"] bearcat2, many folks had accuracy issues as well as pressure problems with the original Barnes X bullet. The accuracy issues were compounded by a rough ( less than pristine, polished Match Grade) bore. I had pretty good luck with accuracy, as I was using a match grade barrel. I had friends that ha horrendous accuracy, which improved greatly, after they polished their rifle bore! To further compound accuracy problems, the Barnes’ Bullets didn’t like to be shot behind your typical “gilding” metal jacketed bullets. I was told very early early on, to treat the Barnes as though you were shooting cast bullets”! Remove all traces of previously shot bullet materials and accuracy should be better. This seemed to be true. This was easy for me to do, as once I went to the X Bullet....I’ve never gone back to cup and core bullets! memtb [/QUOTE]
