[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1100503, member: 10755"] If you go to Berger's website, they have detailed directions on finding the most accurate jump. Personally, in a hunting rifle with a long throat, I load to maximum mag length, load 5 and then load 5 each going in .010" increments to .060" LESS, or max SAAMI length. If none group any better, I try max mag length again and play with powder charges, sometimes you luck out, sometimes you don't. BTW, not ALL rifles shoot well with bullets close to or into the rifling, even jumps of more than .200" can produce very accurate groups. Cheers. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
