[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 196081, member: 8"] Sundevil, no sane person does the kind of stuff I do. Secondly, I do not own a chronograph so I just tell whatever lie is convenient at the moment about bullet speed. I have a 30 inch Spencer 1-8 twist barrel. A minimum SAAMI chamber with a match leade and no freebore. The action is trued and tight. I shoot 115 Bergers jammed hard with 51.0 grains of RL 22 and Fed 210 GM. This will ruin a piece of brass and on 90 degree days if the rifle and ammo are in the sun you will have to hammer the bolt open and the primer will fall out into the action. But it will cut through an antelope at 1K like a knife through hot butter. You would not believe the exit holes it makes. It will go through a big hog like it wasn't even there. The Sierra 105 MKs have a tougher jacket and pressure goes up faster than the Bergers so you cannot get the same speed out of them. Predicted barrel life is about 400 rounds, but the rifle is so great I don't care. It weighs about 18 pounds and is like a bag of cement just laying there waiting for you to pull the trigger. I simply remind you that this is an extreme pressure load and not to be taken lightly. On hot days things go bad in a hurry and I have personally been there and done that and don't need to do it again. [/QUOTE]
