[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 703780, member: 40885"] They weren't. I can see how that seems possible, but unless my wife or nefarious two year old "helped" me by resorting, I loaded them with increasing charges and they went into the ammo box as I loaded them. I will probably try other powders and/or bullets before setting my load on the minimum charge of H4350. There's a lot of empty space in there and while accuracy is paramount, the velocity I'm expecting to see from that charge isn't going to give me the energy to make this a viable load for deer beyond 500 yards. I'm optimistic about finding something that will get the Bergers into the 2850-2950 velocity. I'm getting 2900 out of a 20" tube with 129s, seems reasonless to get around that with 4 extra inches of barrel and being able to seat the bullets significantly farther out. 2500 fps with the Berger 140s limits me to 550 yards to stay about 1800 fps and 1000 ft lbs.
