[QUOTE="Onewolf, post: 766251, member: 54808"] I ordered 100 packs of a variety of likely candidates (Barnes MatchBurner 140s, Hornady A-MAX 140s, Sierra MK 140s and 142s, and Berger VLD 130 and 140s). I have done powder load tests with Barnes MatchBurner 140s, Hornady A-MAX 140s, and Sierra MK 142s. They all ended up 'liking' 43.0gr of H-4350 best. With the Bergers I wasn't sure if I should perform COL testing first since they have the reputation for being the most COL 'finicky'. Since all the other 140ish grain high BC bullets liked 43.0gr H-4350, I decided (rightly or wrongly) to start with a COL test and then after choosing a COL I would do a powder load test with the Bergers. 43.0gr of H-4350 is showing no signs of overpressure on any of the bullets.
