[QUOTE="ramp, post: 531110, member: 5507"] I've been shooting 168 smk out of my factory Remington 308 getting .5 moa. The Guys at the club shoot berger 155.5 and said I should try them. The 168 smk is seated .040 off the lands. When I measured for bergers to the lands only the boattail was in the neck and no bearing surface. If I seat it to the same amount as the smk I have .150 jump to the lands. From what I've read the bergers like to be touching or close. How much bearing surface do I need in the neck to be safe? Has anyone had any luck jumping the bergers this far? Should I just stick with the smk's? I know out of a factory rifle I cant ask for much better. Thanks Ramp [/QUOTE]
