You always have to try everything once and some things twice. I have a rifle that would shoot under one inch with most bullets but would not group the Barnes X bullet under one foot. Thats right ONE FOOT. The rifle I used for the first part of my deer hunt this year was a 257 Roberts. It shoots the Barnes bullets pretty well. Not as well as the Ballistic tips which it really likes but well enough to group less than 2 inches. It shoots Noslet Partitions best of anything I have tried but I will try the corlocts and some others in an attempt to find the cheapest bullet that it will shoot well. It shoots Hornady bullets quite well but I have only tried a few of them. I never saw a deer hit the ground as fast as that one did last week when hit by that 25 caliber Barnes X bullet. I heard the bullet hit and she was gone from my scope. Never even twitched. Nice big fat mulely does. I had an anterless tag and an any deer tag. Will most likely shoot another doe . I also have an anterless muzzle loader tag.
