[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1112889, member: 10429"] So long story short. Hope Nosler is also reading some of these post . 142 ABLR'S weighing them are 141.6 to 142.5 grains range out of 20 bullets I had weighed out. Bergers picking 20 randoms out of my box all hit the mark at 140 grains. I'm tired of wasting good powder on these bullets (ABLR) for below average grouping. There are 2 high fliers due to flys getting in my face/eyes...(Utah desert) they looks for any type of moisture....The bottom right is 3 shots from bergers that had a much large range in velocity spread and I shot at about 30 seconds apart. When testing bullets/powder I generally wait 5 minutes with my bolt open between shots so its more of a stable test. Depending on the groups of shots if a 3 shot work up then I clean using a bore snake every 3 shots or if 5 then every 5 shots and I run it through twice for consistency. The sad thing the bergers were really just loaded to shoot rocks at long ranges for practice using I think 50 or 49 grains of 4831ssc.
