Barns's UF BP Express likes a maximum charge with that particular bullet but there are more than likely other bullets that it would shoot just as well with the adjustability of a loose powder and dialing it in. It's all part of the fun to me. Finding that sweet spot can be rewarding as well as frustrating as hell sometimes.
The Good Lord knows I tried. Spent the entire summer a year ago trying. Even sending a couple bottles of BH through it, weighed of course and ended up gas cutting the breech plug using it. Mostly my fault, over priming the brass primer carriers. Tried until after the "cows came home" to get it to shoot the 290gr Barnes and couldn't make it happen. This next summer I'll be trying some Swiss and see if I can get those Barnes to group at long range, along with the 275gr BE.
But........... that thing will shoot that bullet with pellets very accurately
