[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1228980, member: 30902"] The Berger's simply really seem to be finnicky about seating depth and most guys find closer to the lands is better. If you find the right seating depth then work on slight tweaks in the charge to work towards your max accuracy. In getting there I found worrying about velocity should be the last consideration. Even if you give up a hundred or so fps on MV and the end result is .5 MOA groups you'll never miss the extra velocity you are giving up. This year I'm going to dedicate a lot of time to working with the Hornday factory Precision Hunter Ammo in 300wm and 300 Rum and see where that gets me as I've about decided I'm done shooting Berger's except in some HSM factory ammo that comes with them. Once I get to a happy place wit that I'm moving to the Peregrine Mono's for reloads. If it's at all physically and financially possible I'm heading back to Africa next July/August to continue my quest for a wall full of the finest species they have to offer. Once I've got ten or twelve Gold Medal Animals and a wall full of Silver's I figure I'll have enough to set up a booth at the shows to get some serious interest out of future clients. The variety of game offered and reasonable prices just make Africa a "Have Do" hunt for anyone really serious about hunting. Even including the travel expenses you can take five to ten species of outstanding plains game and spend less than you would on a single high quality guided Trophy Bull Elk hunt or trip to Alaska for their big three. On top of that if you also enjoy upland and waterfowl hunting it's an absolute paradise on Earth and the memories you bring home will last you a lifetime even if you only do it once. For the next trip I'm very seriously considering the 375Ruger again for sure and either one of my 7mm STW's, a .260 Rem or even possibly a .220 Swift for the smaller plains game and of course for shooting predators. Really the trusty ole .22 Hornet would be ideal for the smaller deer and antelope along with Jackal and Cats. I could evgen keep it to one 300wm or Rum and one of the .22's ad feel like I have a very deadly battery for everything from the Cape Buff downward. [/QUOTE]
