Just ordered 100. I can't wait to test them in my 338 Lapua mag. I have 700 300 SMK's down the tube so this will be interesting to see the differences.

Wasgas use 93 grs. of retumbo it works good. I get 2950 FPS out of a 30" barrel on my .338 RUM. Been using the load for 6 years and just starting to replaceing my brass.

I have 2 boxes coming will see how they shot i have used Sierra 300 and lapua 300 didn't see much differents between those two.

Here are my first 5 loaded ready to fire. Will shoot a 300 yard group with them tomorrow. I loaded them just like I do the SMK's .062" off the lands and the Bergers end up with an OAL that is .106" longer. I stil have room in the mag box and they just barly will eject a loaded round from my Mark V action.

I also dropped the charge of H-1000 2.5 gr. to start.

Some measurments compared to the SMK.

300 SMK average OAL of bullet = 1.720"

300 Berger average OAL of Bullet= 1.830"

SMK Base to O-give = .959"

Berger Base to O-give = .965"
