[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 738589, member: 48043"] It seems barnes like around .050" jump give or take a bit. My pipes that are pitching barnes want some jump. I would look at more than one powder and more than one bullet weight too. We've had a few ruger 300 win's in the family, and every one has shot, but sometimes not your favorite LR bullet. My Dad has one at present that'll do well with a 150 hornady fb, and that's it. Two-three inch groups with most other combo's seating depth and powder be damned. If you want to try something a bit different that'll still get out rather well, try a 165 hornady fb with 78gr. rl22 and a 215 in ww brass at standard oal.. I've killed a bunch of deer with the load and it's worked well in a number of rifles. My browning will do 1/2 moa with it regularly. [/QUOTE]
