No this is my next step. Like I said the lack of shells is the big thing. So many variables (With/without can, Cold/hot, different bullets, could it be a scope/ring issue not a bullet issue) I just didn't have the rounds to do it all.

I guess I'll pivot to another question....should I commit to the 123 ELD-M and buy 10 boxes so I can go through all that?

If not what different bullets should I Try?

Once again TIA

I've never had Barnes shoot bad in everything I own.

That’s a match bullet. Don’t use it for hunting.

I have a grendel in an AR
It is extremely picky about ammo. Best group I could get out of Barnes TTSX was 6” at 100yds. Tried everything. Different powders, different powder charge, different seating depths.

Was about to give up on it and I tried some Nosler ballistic tips. 1/2” group at 100yds with the speeds I was wanting.

Here’s an example how barrel harmonics are changed by adding weight to the end of a barrel, whether it’s a dedicated barrel tuner or suppressor.





Limbsaver and the Browning BOSS system work on the same principal
