[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 200977, member: 307"] Hey Flenched, One of the worst things we riflemen/handloaders do is get a new bullet and/or powder and expect it to shoot bug-holes in our wiz-bang rifles. Our expectations let us down. My 700P in 7mm RM did not like 168gn Bergers. "I" really wanted them to shoot. "I" know they're better bullets than the 150gn Ballistic Tips, which by the way shoot into .2's & .3's. You have to let the rifle shoot what it likes. Sometimes that's hard and expensive to find. Other times it's easy and fast. 3 important things about rifles, bullets and powder: (1) the rifle has to like the bullet. (2) seating depth has to be correct. (3) you have to have the right powder charge. Note: Without #1, #2 doesn't mean squat! Without #1 & #2, #3 doesn't mean squat! Think about it. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
