[QUOTE="timeless61, post: 431928, member: 13530"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Kind of, they shot great up until a certain velocity depending where they were seated. They made the same hole bigger at 100 yards not really trying to shoot a group up until 2830 fps give or take a few fps. They were seated around .100 off the lands to work better in the rifle. Then Bryan had me seat them .030 off, and they worked until around 2870 again give or take some, and then started opening up a lot, like 1-2” group at 100 yards. I am shooting a 338 hart which is a 338-300 but I have a fairly generous throat, and a 34” barrel, that is where my extra velocity is coming from. With 300 smk’s I was shooting 2950, with single digit ES, and great accuracy and was still not showing visible pressure signs, but primer pockets were loosening some, still resistance, but not like new.
