[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1030721, member: 50867"] With 800 rounds I doubt that you've worn out the barrel but, just for clarification, a "shinny" barrel isn't what you're looking for when examining your bore. With a bore scope your barrel should reflect a series of rainbow colors, not a flat shinny surface. Flat shinny surfaces are most probably polished carbon build up. Not a good thing. That said, I've found Bergers to be exceptionally finicky. I use them almost exclusively but, IMO, they want a very specific powder charge and seating depth combination to work their best. One of my rifles shoost 'em great with ogive just touching the lands. Another likes .010 jump. Same caliber, same type barrel, just different preferences. [/QUOTE]
