I have. I also talked to a guy that said his starting point on barnes bullets was at the center point of the top friction ring on their bullets. He said most of his rifles liked it right there. So obviously its a hunting bullet so we don't need a one hole load, would be nice. 2 of my 260's loves the 120's at the center of the top ring. Consistently a .3 to .4 moa load 2,980 fps each. But my 6.5 CM wanted it a lot deeper. Took a while to find it after I found the charge of powder. I mean it went from shooting 1.5 moa and moved it 0.010" deeper and bam it went to .3 to .4. crazy.
