[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 1777174, member: 49669"] I bought cheap a large number of the original "X" bullets in 25 cal. for my wife's .250 Savage. These bullets have no grooves. The bullets fouled and shot poorly for the first 250 rounds out of her then new Savage Weather Warrior. I cleaned down to bare metal after every range session and worked on the throat with JB's. Then, like magic, they started to shoot really well. I attribute it to bore conditioning and, after discussion with a NZ expert, bullet aging. Those early bullets seemed to be much harder than current production. I was going to try and anneal a bunch but Nathan thought there would be little gain after all these years because age-softening had probably taken place. [/QUOTE]
