Yes, thank you. I usually put around 10 Barnes along with a bunch of 140 gr smk every range session. The copper fouling really sucks to clean. Doesn't fill case to much capacity with me backing off to 33 grains. 44.5 max according to Hodgdon. That's not a Barnes load. Not a lot of load information for it. 260 shoots best around 24-2500 fps with any bullet I've found. That seems to match speed from Nosler but won't know until I chrono.
