[QUOTE=".284, post: 649547, member: 19604"] I found the 180 .308's to have big variations in bearing surface and I had very inconsistent results with accuracy. I bought them based on the higher bc and some favorable reviews to do with hunting results. I was hoping to extend the range in my 300wsm shooting 180 tsx's and ended up using about 90 of them trying different loads and then retesting somewhat promising loads only to find that I could not make the groups repeat themselves. After becoming frustrated I measured the bearing surfaces and saw that they varied alot. I went to the new Barnes lrx and am real happy with those - except for the price tag. If you are wanting to shoot long range for hunting they may not be the best choice but you may find different than I did. I never did try them on game though. I'm not trying to trash them at all just sharing my experience. For what it's worth I couldn't get them under 2 inches consistently at 200 yards- they averaged about 3.5 inches [/QUOTE]
