[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 924638, member: 68226"] I am amazed that you and others have good luck with the Bergers in this caliber. I have never had anything shoot with SUBSTANTIAL velocity in this caliber. It goes into compaction in the case and distorts the bullet. RL 25 is the ticket to be fast enough but it ripps the Bergers apart. Nose slump and ogive distortion is the issue. Are you using a true chronograph? Load books are so far off I do not think your getting over 2700 to 2800 on your loads. I built no less than 23 of these and in a 26 in tube they are not reaching the velocity that people think they are. I hope the new Hornady might hold up but I would be willing to bet not. The 250 accubond and Barnes ore the only ones I can get to do the job with velocity. [/QUOTE]
