[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 331684, member: 11717"] I was originally posting to the other Bill (didn't realize you were Bill also), but the info is of course for anyone reading. Your trajectory results are very interesting. the Listed BC for the Berger 115 is .466 (vs .447 fothe Noslers) which was tested by Brian Litz. Different folks will get different results with different rifles but that is huge. Maybe there is a combination of velocity error and BC variance??? I dont completely trust my chrony based on things I've observed. When Lighting conditions change, the reading change. I've shot the 115 BST's (with an ave chrony reading of 3405) out to 427 yds Max distance at the local range) with a 300 yd zero and the drops were about .5 MOA higher than the BC and Vel would predict. I'm looking for a place to shoot them farther and test some more. I have been thinking of giving the Bergers a try. It would be interesting to compare the drops between the two bullets. In my world, Temp stability is critical. In Montana temps swing greatly from day to day... even the same day. My bullets would be going everywhere with an unstable powder so that is part of the accuracy equation for me, and stable accuracy is my first priority in choosing a load. Velocity is next. So far I've been getting both with RL17, but haven't checked the stability yet. Thanks for the article. it looks very interesting and will read it later. Right now I'm off looking foe elk :D Later, Mark [/QUOTE]
