[QUOTE="Lightvarmint, post: 204038"] First, let the rifle tell you where it wants the bullet seated by doing some diagnostic testing. I would expect that you will come in between .020" and .050" distance of the ogive to the lands when shooting high performance loads. For example, the 338/378 I use likes the SMK bullets (BC .768) at .030" off the rifling at 3011 fps. With the 280 grain Aluminum tipped bullets (BC .878) from Gerogia, the same gun likes those at .050" off the rifling at 3130 fps using the same powder lot as above. James [/QUOTE]
