The new Barnes foul very little compared to a lot of bullets.  Is this a new gun?  Did you break the barrel in, or just shoot?

Edit:  disregard this question, I found the answer as I was re reading the thread.

It's a Swaro scope, I highly doubt it's bad.  Short of a broken reticle I don't think there would be an issue with it.

Is it a repeatable number of shots before things go south?

I had a similar experience with my wife's 270.  After a bunch messing around I found one loose screw in a mount. (missed that one with the loctite).
      Also, I shoot Barnes TSX & TTSX exclusively with NO fouling problems.  30-50 rounds between cleanings.  No degradation in accuracy.
     Good luck.  I think you have a scope related issue.

Scope problems...?
« Reply #17 on: September 25, 2012, 08:39:13 AM »
Ok, so I finally got around to getting back to the range yesterday.

I did the scope test blacktail sniper suggested, everything checked out good. Torqued everything, nothing moved. Cleaned the gun very thoroughly, I think that was most of the problem it was much more dirty than I thought... Stupid me.

So at the range, the gun shot good basically dead on at 200, with a pretty good group for my gun I didn't measure it but it was probably close to 1 1/2 inches which I'm plenty happy with. Next group wasn't quite as tight but im still happy and confirmed it isn't the scope. Onto a little longer distance shooting, thanks everyone for the comments, I guess i learned how important a real clean barrel is! Rookie mistakes...

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...
