Took my rifle (.280AI) out to check it's zero before hunting. The place I shoot is very informal. I was in a hurry and forgot to take a board to put targets on. Luckly(?) there was a piece of Hardybacker (really hard board for behind tile) up there. I shot with my Barnes TSX bullets that the holes in the target were really tattered. Today I went to shoot again, this time I took some 1/2" plywood and my holes were really tattered again, not to the extent as last time. My buddy, shooting same caliber rifle (different bullets) was punching perfect holes in the paper. I shot a different target on a different place on the board and the holes were better. Think it was just a hard spot on the plywood (like the Hardybacker)? The Barnes bullets expanding that fast? Anyone else ever see this? Thanks in advance for you suggestions.
