[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1081978, member: 69478"] What powder are you shooting? A fast powder with an overbore round can eat your throat quickly but I doubt that's the problem with only 200 rounds down the barrel. Try some other bullets like Catahoula suggested and see what happens. Some other good options are 140gr A-MAXs and 142gr SMKs. The SMKs may not shoot well at those velocities though. I know my Dad ran into erratic results with 190 SMKs in his .300WBY at 3200fps but 190gr Hornady BTSPs and old Winchester 190 Match bullets shoot great. Tinker around a little with the Bergers and see if you get any improvement, if not try the other bullets I suggested. Good luck, hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
