[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 881867, member: 2736"] It is a common belief that Berger's have to be seated touching the lands for the best accuracy. With a good concentric chamber this is not necessarily true. I have built many 280 AIs and the guys that want to shoot the 180 Berger's have found that they are actually better seated well off the lands (.090 to .110) and are able to load them to mag length. When loaded off the lands or better yet Mag length, velocity is better and pressure is down, and the 280 AI With big bullets can meet or exceed the 7 rem mag. Accuracy is also excellent . Stay with a SAMME chamber and Magazine length loads and you wont be restricted to one or two bullets. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
