[QUOTE="nugentfan, post: 2352781, member: 13498"] "There's not much comparison between the Hammers and the Barnes" I have found that to be incredibly true Hammers have been so much easier for me to find an accurate load for and on game performance has been impressive to say the least. "I'm going to be trying 120 barnes in my 708. I have varget and H4895. I do have some RL 15 but that's for my 300 saum." I don't recall which powder the ballistician at Barnes, Ty I think, wanted me to use but possibly it was big game. No matter what I did it was a basic 1.25" 100 yard group. Powder volume, seating depth, primers really minimal improvement no matter what I did. Changed to H414 and my first group was a ragged single hole. Only gun I still load with Barnes I sold about 15 different boxes of Barnes bullets and replaced with Hammers. So far two guns I could never get Barnes to work in are on the money, one took 5 bullets to get from starting point to sighted in. Starting load was fast enough that I stopped and then just checked my group and zero which never changed off my ballistic tip load. [/QUOTE]
