...dang, now I know my problem...I'm weird  I guess because I don't shoot X's in every caliber, I don't fit in, right Miles? I like what they do when driven fast. When they are driven below 3,000 fps, they just don't impress me as much as other bullets, so I don't use them. Yup, that is weird. I am going back to my room now. Flinch

Guys, I plan on getting as many of the load as possible loaded up. My buddy will be here in a week or so with all the details so I will have the receipe for the furure. I still can't believe we have hit an such a load especially after trying for so long. I was so unhappy with the gun I had deceided to sell it but I think I will keep it now !!!!! I want to try a round or two in my wife's 7-08 and see how they do in the Ruger.

Both of the above rifles were proven shooters... well under MOA with C/C bullets but would not shoot with Barnes X bullets.
I have a 25-06 Sendero that has several boxes of 100 grain TSXs down the barrel and still shoots at best 1-1/2 inch groups, with most being 2-3 inches. Run 75 gr VMaxs through it and all the holes touch with about any charge of Varget I've run through it. I solved a 30-06 Parker-Hale that shot extremely well with Sierra 150 FBs (the only hand load I tried in it) by UBCing the bore. That one fouled badly enough that anything after the third shot with a Barnes just opened out past 3 inches. After the UBC it would shoot at least 8-10 without losing accuracy. The 25-06 sits in the safe with a 4.5-14 conquest on it. I bought it to reach a ways with the TSX 100s. I haven't been able to even find any TTSX 100s to try yet I have a new tube on a gun too thats giving me fits. I have yet to move over to tsx in it because I wanted to run heavy for caliber in it. But point is, if the barrel won't shoot what you want it to and you've tried enough options, then its time to put another barrel on it. Thats what I'll do with mine when I have time to test more rounds.... so far it shoots with one load and a C/C but thats sierra bullets performance is so erratic I won't chance it anymore. Have tried match C/C and no good so far, same with nosler etips... Jeff

Ok, I finally got the gun and the target back from my buddy and boy am I estactic about it. I do not know how to post pics but if you are really interested in seeing the target send me an email and I will send target pics to you. Here is the receipe--140 TSX BT, 47 gr. of H-380, bullet moved .040 toward lands from factory OA length of cartridge(3.285" final OA length) equals a 3 shot group of .233"
No chrono but books show approx. 2850 FPS.
