A little history first. I have been reloading for my brother in law's .280. I worked up a good load using H4831 with Hornady 139 gr SST bullets. He bought a box of Barnes triple shock bullets of the same weight and wanted me to reload a couple of boxes for hunting season using the same load data. I did not have the rifle and told him I cannot guarantee accuracy. Well needless to say accuracy is awful.

So the question is if I pull the bullets with a kinetic bullet puller can I expect to get decent accuracy out of the bullets? These are expensive bullets and I would like to make the shoot decent. I have the rifle this time and plan on working up a load.
