Still breaking it in, but this shows me that it will shoot with some load development:

This is the standard T3 SS 30-06. Steve would be proud that I actually CONSIDERED using 150s, but I couldn't bring myself to do it :D

:D My M595 7-08 shoots the center out of the bullseye on the first cold bore shot every time so far with 140 gr corlokts. I'm almost tempted to not handload for it! But I will, just to find what I can so I can load my own. ;)
 
Ive never been able to get 165gr to shoot in my Rem so 150 with IMR 4350 is its liking, 59gr is the sweet spot.

Im still working on my '06 Tikka, those 130gr barnes are tricky.

Great shooting!

Why did you choose barnes over NAB?
 
I've had great success with Accubonds, but I thought that I would try the leadfree stuff after my daughter found a piece of lead in her venison spaghetti. After reading up on it I doubt that it is an issue, but I'll feel better because of it
