[QUOTE="kellyzier, post: 411720, member: 22137"] I just ran some test loads in my 338 edge with the berger 300's...Very impressive. My first test was only at 100 yards and next Im going out to 500 and 1,000 at night without wind to get the real story. I loaded 91 gr...92 gr...and 93 grs of H1000 on the lands....same 91,92 and 93....010 off the lands....020, .030 and .040 off the lands...45 bullets total in sets of 3 shots. Best group was At 91 grs...at .010 off the lands...I shot 3 bullets in the same hole for a 0.080 group..less than 1/10 of an inch group at 100 yards...First shot..2780 fps,,seond shot 2782 fps...3rd shot..freaking chrono broke.. From there as I increased the load the group spread out and at 93 grains..the bolt was sticky, but the primers still looked ok. Also as I played around with the seating,,the groups started to spread out. This berger shoots better than my smk at 100 yards in my 338 edge, the next step is to take it out..way out...I will post the results and a foto of the target next week. Also, the true velocity was probably closer to just over 2800 fps, because I had the crono at least 15 feet from the muzzle.... 338 edge 14.75 pound gun BAT action DE break Best load...91 gr H1000 .010 off the lands Berger 300's CCI 250 LRM primers 2780 FPS zman [/QUOTE]
