[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3056706, member: 5412"] Your report got me wondering about the Barnes 168 gr. TTSX in .308 diameter that I use in my 30-06 for elk loads. I’ve killed 6 elk, some in their tracks with that bullet at some long ranges, so I know it’s performance is very good. Measured a sample from two lot numbers for length using calibrated Brown & Sharpe digital calipers, the variation in length was less than .002. Hornady digital scales showed the same sample bullets to vary .03 of a grain max with the majority being .01 variation. For a control, I used some .308 dia. 180 grain Sierra matchking bullets, length and weight. The results were about equal to the Barnes. Don’t have any of the smaller .22 or .24 caliber bullets yet to try, but I will. [/QUOTE]
