[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1144499, member: 12282"] Both.... I have tried a lot of variations. Into the lands, on the lands, away from the lands in 20 thou increments all the way back to a sizable jump. And I've tried several powder choices, varying by .3 or .4 grains over a range of loads, from a neutral point about 5 thousands off the lands. And tried varying powder jammed into the rifling. I am done with Berger. I am a decent handloader. Have several guns shooting sub .5 MOA. But none with a Berger bullet. Before anyone asks, I am using a micrometer seating die too, so the seating depths are pretty constant I think...... Now I am trying to decide if waiting for the Hornady .284 175gr ELD-X is worth it. People seem less impressed with the A-Max in 7mm than in the 264 offering. Or the Nosler Accubond -- but I have read some pretty negative threads about that one too..... Thanks for the advice......
