[QUOTE="mdslammer, post: 715641, member: 25638"] SB, Right now seated at 3.681, it is NOT compressed. I'm using Hodgdon H-1000 -92gr. for the Berger 300gr. I tried Retumbo. It was OK but not as good as H-1000 IMHO. I think maybe, in addition to everything that's been suggested so far, I may reduce the amount of powder incrementally. Maybe by doing so I can get even tighter groups at 100 yds. I chrono'd my loads this past Monday. All with Lapua Brass, Fed. 215 Primers and H-1000 powder. SMK 250gr. / 100gr. seated at 3.680 / 3215 fps (this was a good load as far as groups) Berger 250gr. / 100gr. / .010 off lands / 3155 FPS (not good grouping) Berger 300gr. / 92gr. / .020 & .025 off lands (groups were so-so) 2850 FPS [/QUOTE]
