I'm a big Barnes fan and have been since the lead free bullet coupon that game and fish provides during the north rim hunts. I first started shooting them in the boys .308 and never had accuracy issues, MOA even with the long jump to the rifling. the other rifles are, 270, 300, 3006. this past hunt I tried a box of Noslers Etip in 168 for the 300, can't tell the difference on paper between the Barnes and Noslers. Recovered bullets look good and hold there wieght too. good luck
