[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1103221, member: 91090"] Below is a graphic depiction of the fact that bergers will jump. Now this is not some high dollar custom gunsmith rifle. I had an old 22/250 in the gun cabinet with a burned out barrel for about 30 years. Decided to build me a new hunting rifle around that action. sent it to bertlein barrels and had them true the action and put a .308 22" #3 contour barrel on it. Took a year to get it back. bought a Mcmillian edge stock and a jewel trigger and put it all together myself. I picked the .308 not for some tactical reason but simply because my first deer rifle was a .308. It always worked for me. Now I am 60 and when you get older you start looking back at the past. It brings back good memories. anyway back to the point. I really want to shoot the berger hunting VLD. I have always had good luck with them on my long range guns but they were always single loaded and jammed in the lands. I wanted to shoot them mag length. Well I have been working on that for some time. About to give up until I read the explanation of how to do it on this forum. Had my doubts. first I took my stoney point OLG and found that my chamber length with the berger was 3.217 converted it is 2.894. Quite a jump to mag length. First round Well I started with 3.22 which is definitely in the lands one hole group 3.15 scattered all over 3.10 one hole again 3.05 scattered all over Today I decided to fine tune that 3.10 second round target below. The jump seems to work top left 3.12 top right 3.11 center 3.10 bottom left 3.09 bottom right 3.08 thought I could post the pics but I guess you will have to go to photo bucket to see it [URL="http://s1056.photobucket.com/user/rcoody1/media/Berger%20168gr%20hunting%20VLD_zpsr7bylmqu.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0"]http://s1056.photobucket.com/user/rcoody1/media/Berger%20168gr%20hunting%20VLD_zpsr7bylmqu.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0[/URL] [/QUOTE]
