[QUOTE="denny07, post: 442620, member: 18235"] I have found barnes bullets to be among the most accurate and effective bullets available.I load a.257 weatherby with a 24 '' barrel to 3367 fps using a barnes 100 gr. tsx. A 7mm stw 26'' 1 & 9 twist barrel to 3450 fps with a barnes 140 gr. ttsx . A 30-06 to 2866 fps with the barnes 150 gr. ttsx. An 8 mm remington magnum to 3270 fps using the barnes 180 gr tsx. I tried berger vld hunting bullets in both the .257 wby. & the 7mmstw because of the higher B.C. after many tries with different powders , primers, and a whole array of seating depths, I went back to barnes. They were consistantly the most accurate in the above mentioned rifles. I finally found a rile that shoot the berger well;It is a 24'' 1& 10 twist 300 win. mag. an honest 1'' group @ 200 yards with the berger 185 gr. vld hunting bullet @ 2840 fps. It out performs all of the above rifle / cartridge combo's above at least as far as retained velocity & energy are concerned. The positive and the negative sides of barnes and berger have been debated back and forth unconclusively. The berger and the barnes are on opposite ends of the spectrum.I want the best of both worlds. Is the new federal trophy bonded tip bullet that bullet ? If not what is? The technology must exist.Quest for the ultimate hunting bullet. [/QUOTE]
