[QUOTE="WRG, post: 287605, member: 13638"] [SIZE=2]I am about to put together some rounds for my M700P - .308 BR using the Berger 155 gr VLD J4 Jacketed match grade PN# 308155V. I have never used this bullet in any rifle so I could use the advise from someone who has. Maybe you have a better way to approach this. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]My question is should I start with it jammed to the lands as you suggest and here's why I ask? [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I will be using two powders in this work up, Varget & IMR4007ssc that consist of 25 rounds for each powder using CCI BR2 primers & Federal GM match cases. That is 5 rounds for each 5 gr increment from min to max. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I guess my problem is I'm just afraid I will miss the better powder if it's not seated correctly.
