Well, I found out why Barnes Bullets "like jump" ...

I measured 15 bullets (with a caliper and Hornady gauge) that were machined with a modern CNC machine. As you can see, despite the type of tooling enhancement, there is still a .005" spread. I plugged the numbers into an SD calculator (https://www.calculator.net/standard-deviation-calculator.html.), and below is the finding.

How is any of this transferring to targets at range?

We have been using barnes bullets for more than twenty years for hunting and have used other brands too. From 224 to 308 cal . From 200 to 800 yrds.There is no doubt in my mind that the TSX and LRX kill better than any other bullet. We don use them for long rang target shooting as there are much better bullets out there for that. Every deer, elk and antelope we've shot with them drop in their tracks. IMO the only problem with barnes bullets is that I can find any 7mm 168 LRX bullets !!! Ive some bullets in a yellow box if anyone is interested in trading.
