[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 560456, member: 25383"] I think I found the problem with the Bergers, and it may well be operator error! The BC of the 88 grain bullet is .391, and I was shooting the thru 1:9 barrels a very high velocities ( 6mm using old .257 brass and H414 powder at close to 3400fps (I'll have to hunt the log book up forthose two rifles to make sure). I was probably putting them thru a massive over spin that showed up at under two hundred yards; yet looked outstanding at 600 yards. Berger calls out a 1:10 twist barrel for these bullets. I now think that if I'd slowed them down to 3200; they'd probably shot better a shorter yardages. Make sense? gary [/QUOTE]
