[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1399478, member: 6555"] Well found out today my barrel just doesn't like the 215 Berger's! I found some old 208 A Max that I didn't know I had loaded up 3 each with different powder charges and seated them -.020" just cause it sounded like a good number..... all 3 loads shot less than an inch :) MUCH better than what I was getting with the 215's so I'm just going to chock it up to my barrel is finicky and doesn't like the 215's. Now the search for a heavier bullet. codyadams, I called and spoke with the folks at Sierra to see if I could get some handouts to try and was told that I need an 8T barrel that they didn't think they would work in my 9T so I guess the search is on for another bullet, the 200 SMK has a great BC but only .335" bearing surface so with my chamber I don't think I'd have much bullet in the case neck but they sure sound interesting! Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
