[QUOTE="Elknut, post: 2426583, member: 119289"] Recently purchased a Bergara Highlander in 300 PRC. Put a Nightforce NXS on it. First group with Hornady 225 gr ELD-M factory ammo was 3/8". I've loaded several different bullets (Berger 210 VLD; 200, 212, and 220 ELD-X; 225 ELD-M; and 250 A-Tip) with increasing charges to find the best powder charge. Then will work on seating depth. Longest COAL is with the 250 gr A-Tip. It's 3.81" long seated 0.020" off lands. Still feeds from the mag, though I don't think I'd slam it in. Pretty sure this is longer than most production mags which are typically 3.71. Throat is nice and tight. You can feel some smooth resistance as the bullets enter the last 1/2" or so, but not enough to pull the bullet out of the comparator. Hoping to dial this one in to shoot 1/4" MOA or better with low ES (less than 20). Just need the weather to cooperate a bit! [/QUOTE]
