[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 2042079, member: 34065"] The 195 Bergers shoot great out of my buddy’s 7LRM at 2,957fps shooting at 3,000’+ elevation. They shoot great out of my 1:8.66 twist with my 28 Nolser. The 180 ELD-M’s didn’t work in my barrel and gave up due to them blowing up before reaching the target, sometimes at less than 100 yards. Many people haven’t had this issue though. The 195’s have performed well on Coues and Mule deer for us. I think you’ll find the BC on the 195’s to be higher than the 180’s as Berger have a fairer way of publicising their B.C.’s. Basically taking an average of their Mach values Vs. Hornady using their Mach 2 and not averaging them like Berger does. Look at Hornady’s website for the expanded BC values. To compare I usually just average the 3 or go on the low end and is close for LR shooting and a better comparison to Bergers BC values. Here is the twist calculator to give you a better idea of exactly what they’ll do for stabilisation wise based on many factors but most importantly the elevation.
