[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1113182, member: 10291"] Tstark, I haven't tried the 142 LRAB's. Due to the mixed reports on the 142 LRABs, and varied performance between different lots using the LRAB 210's in my 300WM, I have been hesitant. All my loads with both H4841sc and Retumbo have been developed using 140 Berger VLD's, and JLK's. I have experienced that the optimum seating is unaffected between H4831sc or Retumbo in my rifles. Interestingly, I have also found that with both the Berger and JLK's in two different 6.5x284 rifles that my best accuracy(<.5MOA) was achieved seating .075"s off the lands. I would still test seating depth as chambers can behave differently. After a few dozen deer and antelope taken at long range(500-1000 yards), I have found that both the Berger 140 Hunting VLD's and the 140 JLK's perform superbly on deer sized game when driven at 2960-3020FPS. I use a G7 BC with the Bergers of .313, and .321 with the JLK's. With identical powder/primers, the Bergers generate 15-20 FPS higher average MV's over the JLK's in my rifles. [/QUOTE]
