Barnes match bullets

[clowdis]

I just noticed that Barnes is now making match bullets in most of the popular sizes and weights. Has anyone ever tried any of their match bullets?

Yes Sir Ive shot the 69gr match in 91/2 tw savage 223 with very good results havent done any extereme testing

I've shot more than a few, and would put them pretty close to the SMK's. This is out of 2 AR's with very different barrels. About the same a Nosler CC. In a pinch I would use them assuming I can't get Sierra's. Which is now.

I make only minor changes to seating depth as they are shot mag length.

69 HPBT is what I am referring too.

i love them...69 gr match burners. since i'm ocd, i weigh and measure bullet base to bearing ogive and was amazed at how consistent these were, and the price is GREAT! some highly regarded match bullets often have two base to ogive measurements in one box and it also varies with new lots.

I haven't used their match bullets YET , but I just tryed their LRX long range bullets and they are very accurate. They were possibly slightly better than the Berger VLDS that I was shooting. The conditions were horrible at best & I was still able to connect bullets (part of the time) at 300 yds in my 300wsm hunting rifle. Wind was huffing up to 20-30 mph & deflection was maybe at worst 1.5". Pretty impressed.
