[QUOTE="Glass4days, post: 511702, member: 34252"] I recently purchased a savage model 16 weather warrior in 270wsm. I am also wanting to shoot berger bullets. I bought a box of 140gr vld's and began the process. I was getting frustrated early on because I couldn't get and good groups at 100 yards. The best I could do was 1 1/4. I just knew the gun and calliber was capable of much better. I spoke with a few berger fanatics who live here locally. They told me to move my target back to 200 yards. They said the bergers don't stabalize at 100 yards. I was sceptical but I decided to give it a try. I saw a huge improvement immediately. I got numerous different loads to group under an inch at 200. Using some magpro and the 140's I got one group just over 3/4". Another group was just under 3/4". These are 3 shot groups. The barrel seems to shoot better dirty. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
