It's interesting to note that in four out of five rifles I have tryed Barnes bullets, I have had my most accurate load with the Barnes.

These includes the 225 gr X in a Win.94 carbine, 150 TSX in my WIN.88-.308, Win.94 30-30AI 150 Barnes X, and the .257 Roberts 100 GR TSX.

The one i'm still working with is the 85 gr.TSX in my Ruger 1-A and this one is getting close.

Best load to date with the .243 is the 100 gr. BT Speer & 38 gr XMR 4350 that will run 1" at 100yds. for 5 shots ( if I take my time).

The one thing that has helped my load development the most is a 2.8X10 Simons Aetec, vary clear and brite scope for the money.
