gun)hi there fellas,was shooting at 550yds this morning(no wind). trying some 185 berger vld's and 208 amaxes in my 300wm.loaded the 185's in winchester cases that have been fired at most 4 times.l loaded the 208's into winchester cases that have been fired at lest 6 or 7 times.i neck size with a lee collet die.the 185's didnt shhot great(moa) but shot much better than the 208's (12" 3 shot groups, 3 different loads).i have shot the 208's before at 625 yards and groups have been well under moa.i have a feeling my brass needs some tlc.a full length treatment and annealing.what is your opinion?no chrony data.i did however "feel" the bolt closing harder on some cases than others they were not "tight" but i could tell the difference,and also some bullets seated with more force on press handle than others. jason
