I am fairly new to reloading. I live in the "People's Republic of California" so I started reloading because of the cost of lead free ammo. I have pretty good luck with 55 Gr Hornady with bl-c(2) just for plinking, but when I started loading 62 Gr. Barnes, I am not doing as well. I have only tried Varget which the barnes book listed as thier most accurate load. I am shooting a new mini-14 (580). I have had great results with Barnes 168 Gr. bullets in my 30-06 using IMR4064. I would appreciate any input.
