While the is no doubt that the original X Bullet fouled bores....they didn’t excessively foul “all” bores. My first use of the Barnes X was in the early ‘90’s, fired thru a rifle with a “match” barrel. And while accuracy wasn’t great, and I couldn’t push them quite as fast as cup and cores of equal weight.....they produced minimal fouling! With several other rifle, after polishing the bores, the fouling was substantially reduced and accuracy rather dramatically improved....dependent upon how rough the bore was originally. Just my observations! memtb
