So far the only bullet I have acheived this with is a Nosler 150 Accubond and Swift Scirocco. This rifle has been timed and trued. It is riding on two pillar beds and the lug is glassed in. I have switched the scopes and bases around several times.
Just gurious on what your expectations might be.

I would say start experimenting with different powders and loads, if you can shoot .5" groups with 150gr noslers and Swifts, you should be able to get it with the Barnes, you just probably havent found the powder combination for the Barnes. Myself, my load for the 300win mag with the Nosler BTs was always IMR 4350, when I switched to the Barnes TSX my groups opened up to 1.75" from .5, after trying several different powders and loads, I got back to .5 with RL22.
