[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1330348, member: 105"] I am finally putting together some long range rounds for both of my Remingtons chambered in 7SAUM. Barrel breakin is over and I've about shot up all my old handloads during barrel breakin. What I have is Nosler Brass and 168gr Berger Hunting VLD bullets. I plan to use H4831SC and I have most of the major brands of primers but I'm thinking Remington because that's what Nosler recommends in their online data and I can't see where Berger even mentions what primer to use. Here's my question... The Berger 1st Edition manual says best accuracy is accomplished if I load my bullets touching the lands but there's no way they'll fit in the magazine that long and although I intend to do a fair amount of target shooting with these loads I'd really like to hunt with exactly the same loads so my familiarity with these rounds is rock solid. Does anyone really know just how important it is to touch the lands to get maximum accuracy? Have you actually tested to make sure it truly is important? Thanks for any help you can offer. $bob$ [/QUOTE]
