[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 708683, member: 47325"] 70.9 gr H1000 Fed 215M seated 0.080 off the lands, though I didn't really see much difference from 0.020, 0.040, 0.060, or at 0.080 as far as grouping is concerned, they all shot well and 0.060 allows me to use my magazine and 80 off is just a little wiggle room My MV is right at 2950, with a 26.5" Douglass barrel 1in 10 twist, when I asked Walt Berger about loads for em he did say that I would see a little bit of a velocity loss due to the longer bearing surface. I never looked into it beyond initial load testing for charge weight, but I have a strong suspicion that 70gr through 70.9 would also shoot very well, I may have to play with it some next spring just to see what happens, see if I'm right or not. when I ranged it out checking my drops the bullet splashes over lapped at 600, and every 1st round shot at from 200 out to 800 was 1st round hit, I think I like it:), helluva bullet1 good job berger:cool: [/QUOTE]
