[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1396324, member: 12995"] Have you tried seating the Bergers at 0.015" off the lands? They typically like to be as close to the lands as possible, without causing pressure spikes. Also, if you have ever shot other brands of bullets through that barrel, you might need to scrub the bore down to bare metal, and then try the Bergers again. Different brands use different copper alloys for their jackets, and not all of them mix well. It's good practice that if you ever swap bullet brands, powders, or if you want to try shooting another brand to see how well they'll work for you, thoroughly clean your barrel all the way down to white, and if you decide to swap back, clean again before shooting.
