[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 72560, member: 2852"] Sounds good Bill. I am not surprised that the Amax shot better at 100 yards. They are much less radical of a shape and have a longer bearing surface. The Berger 95's are shaped like nothing else, and seem to be finicky in rifles. But if you can get them to shoot, they will shave almost 2 minutes off your traj at 1k. I would definetly try them both again, only this time at 500 yards because the Bergers might just need a little more distance to settle down. Also, one other little word of advice: Measure all the Amax's bearing surfaces within the lot, and expect different lots to be WAY different lengths. I have had Amax's vary .008" in ogive length on bullets from the same box! If you want to see how all these bullets stack up according to consistency, run a search on a thread I started called, "how the popular 6mm bullets stack up." You might find it interesting.
