This is close to my results as well. 168 TTSX, H4350, 0.050" jump. MV of 2951 with my 26" barrel and groups under 1". I haven't messed with them much lately, so maybe there's even more to be had. OP, good luck in your search. I have loaded Barnes in a few calibers and seem to have had luck...

Started off as a Gander Mountain used Savage 111 in 30-06. I didn't intend on it being a chassis rifle, but sales happen sometimes. Since factory purchased, I've added: EGW single base TPS 30mm rings Vortex HS-LR 6-24 FFP 1:10" twist 26" McGowen barrel in Savage magnum contour XLR Carbon...

I had a similar situation with a box of 178 BTHP Superformance ammo in .308. Contacted Hornady, sent pictures, and sent the remainder of the box back to be tested. I forget precisely what they said. It was something like they hadn't pinned the primers or something on that lot. Sent two new...

I tried searching, but it seems that the newest information that is available is pretty old and has some dead links in them. I have a post-64 Model 70 LA that was "customized" a bit by the previous owner (I bought it used), including some unknown (not a standard scope base pitch) base screws...

I had had pictures of what looked to be an ok 10 point on my camera, along with some other decent bucks. I wasn't sure about the 10, but looked to be a 3.5-year-old, so there was definitely room for a boom if I let him go another season, but I also am surrounded by other hunting properties, so...

I bought a 10 gauge and felt that it could be peppier than what the factory was producing. I also wanted some more flexibility. I also reduced the cost of steel loads to $15 a box versus the $26-$28 from the factory. Now I can load 2.5 oz turkey loads (why choose shot size or pellet count...

Sorry for the resurrection of this thread. I've kinda narrowed it down to either the XLR Evolution or XLR Carbon chassis. Is the Carbon worth the extra expense vs. the Evolution or might there be an advantage to spending the same amount but having some accessories?

Looking to update my .30-06 a bit and try to make a little more use of the overall performance potential. Currently have a 26" McGowen, 1:10 twist in magnum contour on order. It's a factory Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP, so currently sporting pretty basic stuff (short, sporter barrel, tupperware...
