[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 60900, member: 10"] Alg, Hornady A-Maxs have let loose before anything in the fast twist 3 groove barrels but the Bergers are not far behind. I have found that seating the bullets into the lands relatively hard, of course after cautious load developement has resulted in these two bullets being able to handle higher velocities in these fast twist barrels then if they are seated off the lands. This is due to the bullet not gaining linaer velocity before they engage the rifling which I believe stresses the jacket core bond and destroys accuracy. Seating into the lands starts the bullet rotating as soon as it starts moving down the bore. THis is less stressful on the thinner jacketed bullets. I have not seen this as much in the thicker jacketed Sierra and Wildcat bullets. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
