Pretty much the exact opposite of my experience with Barnes. In every rifle I have tried them the TTSX and LRX bullets have turned in amazing groups, with very little effort, fiddling or fine tuning. Just load them fast, seat them about .060-080" off the lands and have it at. My 300 Win Mag would not shoot boat tail bullets of any kind under about 1.5", first two groups with TTSX 180's and same powder were in the 0.4" range.

In my two 7mm-08 rifles I have great results with 120 TTSX and 139 LRX (unfortunately the 139's are not that easy to locate.) Both group very well and have been deadly on game.
