[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 695503, member: 9281"] I have been using these in my RUM for a while. Mine is a Rem 700 semi custom with a #5 27" lilja on it. The rifle has in the neighborhood of 1,300 rounds through it. Previously I was using NC brass with 92.0 grains of H1000 which produced 3140 fps with very low ES. Accuracy was good, inside 1 MOA at 1000 yards. I recently switched back to Rem brass to get away from the soft Nosler stuff. I prepped the virgin brass including neck turning. While re-adjusting my powder charge for the new brass I hit a dandy accuracy node at 94.0 grains of H1000. At 100 yards typically 2 will be in the same hole and the third will be touching the other two. Berger's have never shot this well in this rifle at close range, it always seemed to take a few hundred yards to settle in and get that .5 MOA I was after. Anyway, now I am running 3,185 fps with less than 10fps ES and accuracy is much better and inside .5 MOA vertical spread even to 1200 yards. The LR velocity and energy numbers with this bullet are phenominal, I am really looking forward to experiencing their performance in the upcoming hunts. I hope this helps you. [/QUOTE]
