Was wondering if anyone has used these?

If so what kind of groups did you get with it? Using what rifle / barrel?

I have a 1:11 twist AIAW .338 factory barrel was looking to use these cause they are lead free which is very important to me.

If you have any input it would be much appreciated or a suggestion for a different bullet (has to be lead free)

250grain lapua scanars give me very good groups with the mentioned rifle so Im assuming that these would be similar but who knows....

Has anyone actually taken any game with them? How did / do they perform? Mainly concerned with larger game obviously but any input would be nice

Thanks

:edit: not necessarily the corbons just the bullets - also if you have and would be willing to share any load development that would be awesome

Re: Barnes 265 grain .338 LM bullets

I am looking forward to trying these on brown bear this spring- I just loaded some up w/ 93 gr Retumbo; my rifle shoots sierra's great. Also got some nosler accubonds to try; could only find them in 250 gr. I know that they came out in 300 gr, but they're backordered everywhere I looked. I have had problems w/ barnes fouling quickly in my .416 after 5 shots, but i will know in the .338 LM in the next couple days how they perform.
