[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 160364, member: 8"] I have a 30 inch Spencer barrel with an 8 twist 6 groove. It has a minimum SAAMI chamber and is throated for the 105-107 VLD but likes the Berger 115 jammed. I do not have a chorongraph so I just claim to shoot faster than the people who believe their 6-06 or 6-284 is fast. If I told you how fast it is then I wouldn't be able to tell big lies about it anymore.:D As best I can tell, the velocity is something like 3275 fps if the BC of the bullet is exactly what Berger claims and that matches up with my measured drops very well to 1000 yards. If the BC is less than claimed then my vleocites are over 3300fps. I have not shot any of the new batch of Bergers and I have had no problems with bullets blowing up but the barrel is still young and I don't let it get hot. [/QUOTE]
