[QUOTE="Brain, post: 182422, member: 7343"] I have found great success with the 162 SST's but I have some 168 and 180 Bergers to try as well. It will shoot just over 1/2 moa with the SST's. In working up seating length for the Bergers I have run into a problem with the factory Rem 700 barrel. The throat is so long that seating them at, or into the lands creates an OAL that is so long I have to remove the bolt in order to extract the cartridge. Not sure how I'm going to work around this yet if at all. I have read that a very small percentage of shooters have had decent results in jumping them, but the majority find the best accuracy at jam or jam+ lengths. I know the solution is to either set the barrel back and rechamber with a shorter throated reamer or just rebarrel completely...if there is such a thing as a short throated 7RUM reamer. [/QUOTE]
