[QUOTE="canyonman1, post: 399575, member: 16969"] Retumbo is very stable temp. wise. I use Winchester mag. primers with the Berger. Fed. 215's opened the groups 1/2 moa, and E.S. went up, wich is totally opposite of usual. A guy by the name of Mark Skaggs fits my barrels if I don't have Chris at Pac-nor do it. He is a gunsmith here locally. He's also a machinest at Erickson Air Crane, he builds parts for helicopter engines. I do every thing else like trigger work, bedding, etc. myself. I am seating the Bergers .300" off the lands. It will shoot the same touching or close to or where I have it now, so I stay away when possible. Some benchrest shooters prefer a big jump for long range consistancy and low E.S... That has been my experience with this bullet. They will also settle for a larger group size at closer range (100 yds.) and say it will tighten up over distance. My 338 Edge pokes em' in at under 1/2 MOA @ 100 yds. and stays there for quite a distance. The 2 4" groups I shot in the photos at the begining of this thread are .1979 MOA @ 1,930 yards. Granted thats only 3 shots, and I will be shooting for a 10 shot group when this weather warms up a bit. One other note: I used the new B.C. that Bryan Litz suggested and confirmed it with 25 rounds from 700 yards to 1,930 yards. I will keep using the original B.C. of .455 G7. The new one does'nt work for me... [/QUOTE]
