[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1953212, member: 109476"] Have been using the Barnes since 1994. Have taken elk each season with a 6.5. Never a problem with accuracy. Usually seated .050 to .070 off the lands. Over the last two years I acquired two new 6.5's. one 1/9 the other 1/8 twist. Neither rifle woulds shoot the Barnes with any thing resembling hunting accuracy. This is the first time I had this type of problem with the Barnes. I have seated these Barnes bullets in these rifles from up close to way back off with no success. Have tried several different powders . Also no success. Have heard of others from time to time having the same problem. I heard Hammer brand bullets might work better. The Hammer's instantly snuggled into 1/2" groups & took my elk with them last season. Can't explain why, just thought I would pass on the info in case the Barnes don't shoot well in your rifle. Elk taken with both the Barnes & the Hammer bullets went right down. See no difference with performance on elk. [/QUOTE]
