Nice shooting. Seems the 350gr are more accurate for you.

I'm curious, are the 350gr the more accurate of the two, in general?

Has anyone else tested the 300gr?

My buddy tried the 300's in his Encore barrel and needed a sledge hammer to get them to go down. He has not tried them since I JB'ed his bore though. They would not group at 50yds either. Looks like the 350's shoot better. Good shooting.

I think I remember MD saying some bad batches had made it out though that were oversized.

not oversized, but the alloy ratio was off and it caused hard loading to impossible loading. I think i got some of those when i first tried them out. They were darn near impossible to get down a clean bore of a .502" omega.

No sledge hammer needed in my X7,nef or white.I have shot the FPB since they came out and have always done better with the 350gr.
