Being computer-challenged I cannot post pictures, I can tell you the bullet used was a 139 gr. Hornady over a shovel full of H4831, a bullet I've never considered an " accuracy bullet ".

Now heres the interesting part... like you curiosity got the better of me and I had to try a 3 rd. group.
So I loaded the exact same load along with 3 rds. each of 140 Barnes TSX and 140 TTSX.
Barnes loads were seated way off the lands, the Hornady almost kissing same.
The 139 Hornady load made 0.66", the Barnes 140 TSX made 1.19" and the TTSX did 1.46"
I was surprised because I expected both Barnes bullets to group better especially because I want to hunt with them rather than hunt with the 139 Hdy. which are left over from when I had a 7X57 and a 280.
I'm not giving up on the Barnes, simply have to do more work with them.
Ideally I would like to try 160 gr. loads be they Barnes or Nosler but such bullets are impossible to find on this side of the Fence..
