Barnes .338/185gr XLC

Can any of you get these things to shoot well in a 338/06?

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

I couldn't get them to shoot great in my 340 weatherby....got them to kind of average at best.

I've never been able to get any of the older 'X' bullets to shoot better than 1.5moa from any rifle/cart. combo. I am going to give the newer 185gr/338 a try in my .338-06, last chance for Barnes. It's tough to beat the 210grNP in the .338-06.

I'm getting 1" to sub groups with Varget and the 185 TSX. I have also used the 185 XLC with Varget. The major problem I had was seating depth once I found the right one it was not a problem but I did have to seat them deep in the case about .06 off the lands if I remember right.
