[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 972199, member: 64108"] I'm going thru the same thing switching out all my pet Berger loads to copper as I'm in Cali also. Very frustrating, I couldn't get much going with the Cutting Edge 130's either but have had some success with the Barnes 127LRX 0.468 BC. Consistent 3/4" at 100 yards with 47.5 grains of IMR 4350 @ 0.040 off. I'm hoping to tighten up with seating depth and move the powder by 0.2 grains each way. Shot 0.33 with 51.5 grains of H4831sc but was dropping primers out of my Lapua brass and a sticky bolt makes it a no go. Less powder was 1.5"+ so needless to say after 6 different powders this is getting old. Then I have 4 more rifles to do. I have some of the CEB 6.5mm 140's if you want to try them I'll mail some out. It's cheaper than me testing them. I did get some H1000 that I'll try this weekend. The good news is my girlfriend met some people who own a winery in Napa and they hire people to hunt the pigs so hopefully we will get to make a "Swine & Dine" trip soon !! I love my pig hunting but it seems most of the pigs are on private land where the water is, even more so with our drought, and they charge $500-$700 to shoot a pig which is out of my league. Thanks for the info and keep posting your results. [/QUOTE]
