Anyone tried Barnes Match Burners?

I bought a box of 112 grain 6mm Barnes Match Burner bullets today. I read a few reviews and most everyone said they shoot good. Not much else on the shelves so I thought I'd give them a try. I plan to shoot them in a 6 CM when it gets here. Anyone else use them???
 
I had some I shot in a 6.5 Creedmoor. Worst bullet I shot in that caliber. Finally I weight them enough said big variation.
 
I read your post, then weighed 15 bullets. 7 weighed 111.5, 7 weighed 111.4 and 1 weighed 111.3. Maybe I will sort them at a later date and see if it makes a difference. I'm not sure how much 1/10 of a grain makes accuracy wise.
 
I checked my notes and mine are showing a bigger difference in weight. My 140gr Match Burner showed a weight variation between 139.6 on the low end and 140.2 on the high end. Then again it all depends on how far you are shooting. Please let me know how yours group for you. Maybe I just got a bad box.
 
I've had great results with the Match Burner in 22cal 85gr, 6mm 105, 112, and 6.5 140 & 145gr - they're a very accurate bullet for the price

In my 6mm Creed the 112gr MB shot best for me with RL26, speed was around 2960 fps from my 24" 7.7t proof carbon
 
That's good to hear. Did you jump them very much? I Read that Barnes likes a jump and run hard. I don't have any Rel 26. May have to go on a hunt for some.
