    @gimp OK cool, I just run a few patches down mine after use, and it seems to shoot great every time.

    In saying that, I'm never shooting more than 350m. If I start to see accuracy dropping, then I'll give it a thorough cleaning. But for now, it seems fine and accurate enough on deer.

    Lots of you have been mentioning a lighter 308 Barnes option, 110 or 130gr. I'll keep using these 150's for close-range stuff for now. Later this year, I'll look at getting some Maker Tipped 130gr rounds made up. I'll report back on them then.

    For now I'll see if I can get a few more at close range with the Barnes!
