[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 420034, member: 999"] JEC Thanks! What's been 'bugging me' is that I've tried shooting some Berger 130 grainers in my 6.5x47Lapua and I have to seat these rather deeply to be able to close the bolt. Quite obvious it's not a 'throated chamber'; just a standard cut. At 1000 yds. and using 38 grs. Varget the accuracy is MUCH LESS than what I can obtain with Sierra 123 gr. HPBT. It's been my experience over many years that if a bullet had to be seated with the base of the bullet back down into the main portion of the powder area that accuracy would suffer! Seems like I'm experiencing that with the endeavor to shoot the Bergers!:cool::rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
