Barnes 30 Cal 212 Bore rider LRX

[SF_52]

Looking to start a conversation on these. I have just started playing with them in a 300 NMI. I had some very promising results while fire forming brass. This rifle has a 8 1/2" twist and was built for 245 bergers so I am planning on doing another one with a 8" twist just for these bullets... looking to see if anyone has any experience or expertise to share.

Borrowed for the example of loaded and recovered bullets. 30 Sherman mag. with an 8 twist.

Here's a few pics, bottom bullet is a 215 Berger, next is a 212, 3rd was recovered at 200 yards, 4th was recovered at 680 yards (Impact velocity 2150).

Hey, thanks for the info. I have seen that thread and video. The video put some wind in my sails that other people are starting to explore this bullet again. I committed and bought 1000 of them after my testing. Really looking forward to see how they expand at distance.
