[QUOTE="BMF, post: 674982, member: 12201"] If your gun is a 1 in 9 1/8 twist then the 95s are on the edge of performance, some will some won't. But if you want to shoot bergers the 87s are about perfect. I have a savage with a 1 in 9 1/4 twist ( I think) that wouldn't shoot the 95s at all. I bought some 87s, and wow, big difference. They shoot good at a wide range of charges. But like roninflag said a lot of the 80ish grain bullets should perform better than the 95s in that twist. When you find a bullet and charge that shoots respectable, THEN try experimenting with different seating depths. On that note an O.A.L. Gauge is a valuable tool for measuring seating depth and not too pricey. The hornady loc-n-load gauge is about 30.00 with the basic comparator set ( good for a bunch of different calibers) is around 25.00. Well worth the money if your reloading. " In the lands"---meaning you push the bullet into the rifling (lands) when you close your bolt. Without a O.A.L gauge it's really hard to cut even .020(twenty thousandths) so I would stay on or better yet,just short of the lands for safety purposes. [/QUOTE]
