Solids Verses Lead Core Bullets

The EPA seems to be making headway in their attempt to get lead out of consumers hands, so I have been experimenting with some Barnes TSX bullets. I have gotten some good crouping with them, but no where near as good as I have gotten out of the Sierra 168 grain HPBT Matchking bullets.

I think I need to tweak my loads a little bit, or maybe try some different bullet weights. I will post my results as they occur this spring.

Here is my starting data from Barnes: http://www.barnesbullets.com/images/308WinWeb.pdf

BTW If you buy Barnes bullets you can get a 6 month free subscription to either Rifle or Handloader Magazines.

Good Shooting!
