For the last few years I've loaded Barnes for several rifles since being forced to by a stupid California law based on junk science. The experience was frustrating until I learned two things.
1) Seat them deep .050 to .070 or even deeper.
2) Load them fast. Max or near max.

Noticed your in Minnesota. In my opinion, there are many better and much easier to work with lead choices available. From Nosler, Hornady, Berger , just to name a few.
Don't have anything against copper for use on game as they work OK. However, they can often be temperamental therefore frustrating to develop accurate loads for.
