I have been using Barnes bullets for over a decade in 6.5 and 30 06. I noticed with the latest batch of 127 grain LRX, that my groups open up quite considerably to an inch and a 1/2 from previously being half an inch.
I weighed out fifteen LRX 127 grain bullets and although eleven were 127.2 grains , the rest varied from 127 to 127.7 grains.
Ten of the TSX 200 grainers from older stock all weighed exactly 200 grains.
I weighed out ten Hornaday ELD-X 143 grain bullets and they all weighed 143.7 grains. I heard that Barnes have recently been taken over by federal.Has anyone else noted a decrease in quality of these stamped bullets?

Another step in the reloading process (I only use Barnes across 3 calibres) - weigh each sodding bullet before seating
