83% of all statistics are made up.

I’m running them 3250fps with TAC. Got close to that with CFE223 but I didn’t have the accuracy that I have with TAC.

"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

My finnlight 7-08 doesn't like the barnes either

My 7mm-08 model 70 extreme weather shot the 120 ttsx good enough to hunt with but wasn't as accurate as what I really like to see.

My Tikka shot the 120gr TTSXs really good but my rifle really loves the 140gr Accubonds. Almost 1 ragged hole at 100yds. Pushing them 2850fps with Varget.

That's what my finnlight likes as well. Accubonds and partitions. Oddly, my sako 90 in 308 seems to love the barnes 130gr
