[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 2215032, member: 49619"] I tried barnes 130 grn tsx over 51.5 grns of cfe 223 in my 308. Better than moa from prone with a bipod though just 3 shot groups btw, forget the actual velocity but it was around 3100 out of my 26" single shot on my sporter magnetospeed. This was the best accuracy I've had out of this ruger #1. Only downside is they are extremely noisy with muzzle blast. IIRC the recoil was on a par with my ruger #3 in 223 with maxed out 55 grn psp hornady bullets which isn't much at all. Subsequently I've loaded the 130s up to 52.5 grns of cfe 223 but haven't used them yet so can't say how they shoot. Please remember the first loads were ok in my gun but may not be in yours, start at load is 50.5 grains cfe 223 powder, I use match brass and S&B primers and neck size only. [/QUOTE]
