[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 616565, member: 10"] That is certainly the best thing to do, when your using a bullet that has a velocity ceiling, your much better off going with a heavier bullet instead of going with a lighter bullet and trying to find a consistant load. The heavier, longer, higher BC bullets will have very similiar velocity ceilings but its much better to go with a heavier bullet because it will give you several things, better powder ignition, more efficent powder burn, higher retained velocity, higher retained energy, less wind drift. In the end, your always better going with the higher BC bullet if your facing a velocity ceiling. The great news is that berger has several great heavy 30 cal bullets, the 230 gr bullet will be a great choice in the Warbird if the barrel has the right twist. As far as my velocity claims with my wildcats, they are all proven and offer GREAT case life, at least 6 firings per case. Something that CANNOT be said for some semi-commerical chamberings if you load them to their own recommended velocities. Just saying, lets not throw to many rocks at glass houses. [/QUOTE]
