1. Earlier in a post I read that Barnes bullets will shoot better if other bullets haven't been through the barrel. I think Ndak posted that. Now, if I am working with a brand new gun I shouldn't have any special cleaning to do before trying these right?? My reason for asking is that my dad saw on TV the XLCs and asked if I could load those up for him in a 30.06.
2. If I use a bullet such as a Barnes or a Winchester Failsafe, can I go down one weight and still expect the same penetration as a heavier lead core bullet??
