[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 873285, member: 61747"] I have no experience with those and have settled on Berger and Matrix. The Matrix 160 in a 8 twist fly really well out to 1300. I have not shot them past that yet but will be doing so this week. 1 think I found that is that a bullet with a longer bearing surface changes the impact and flight characteristics significantly. If you compare the bearing surface of those two bullets you may well have to change powder volume and seating depth significantly. I can shoot berger 140 VLD target in a tiny group at 200 at .010 off the lands. My 140 VLD Hunt will not group at all until I hit .075 to .100. Pressure is different as well. I have no clue how you reload but it is just some thoughts about how you might need to approach the accuracy issue. [/QUOTE]
