Would anyone happen to have a copy of the #2 manual? Trying to find data for the 210gr X bullet in the .375 H&H

Much appreciated. Does it happen to show a OAL?

Barnes originally specified OAL by stating your rounds should be .050" off the lands (or something similar to that, going from memory), then vary .005" - .010" each way seeking best grouping.

Since I moved to all my hunting being done with all the variations of the X bullet ever since the originals, I have realized that while that is a good place to start (versus before that, just touching the lands), there is a wide variation in distances off the lands that are quite different for each bullet used in each of my rifles.

I think Barnes offers phone and email technical support (or at least they used to), if you want to verify what their OAL recommendations are today.
