Barnes, in any caliber. Absolutely no bad experiences!
^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^ Same for us, no disappointments and no fouling.....but, have only used them since 1993!
I did have a friend that had horrendous fouling and terrible groups (patterns
) with the original X Bullets! Discovered that the bore of his new Remington SS Model 700 25-06 was very rough.....maybe rifled with a “rattail” file
. We polished (hand lapped) the bore (a lot)! Improved the groups to acceptable. He then went out and killed the biggest bodied bull elk I’ve ever seen. Shot running broadside at about 80 or so yards, bullet well placed, complete pass through.....elk piled up in less than 100 yards! His first elk! memtb
