[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 335024, member: 9281"] What I have seen so far in three rifles that I've loaded for, is that the two that I seated the Bergers to touch the rifling wil provide great velocity as well as accuracy. The last 300 Win with the 168's that I loaded for I followed Berger's new recommendations for working up a load. I found the best accuracy in this rifle at .090" off the rifling and the shells will also fit in the mag. Accuracy is between .25 and .5 MOA in a stock Remington. However, I am displeased with the velocity we reached in that loading, at least 100 fps slower than it should be. This gun will be used for long range hunting and we wanted to keep that 1800 fps out there as far as we could. I slowly increased powder charge to max load and the accuracy went away. I know that when they are loaded to touch the rifling there is a sharp, quick pressure spike and I thinks that's where the velocity is coming from in the other two guns. If velocity is very important to you, you may want to just start out touching the rifling, most likely you will have great accuracy there too. [/QUOTE]
