[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 472248, member: 19118"] Good advice from 405win on checking the basics first. Bergers are long. To make them into factory ammo they need to be loaded deep enough in the case to run through whatever 7mag they may get put in. That means you probably a lot of jump before your bullet gets to the lands. In a chamber that isn't lined up perfectly (common in factory guns), that can mean poor accuracy. Probably no harm in having a new chamber pushed in the barrel, but it still may or may not like the HSM stuff. VLDs can be finicky when you can't play with the seating depth. You might try a box of Remington Scirocco 150s. They have worked well for a number of customers looking for a factory solution and they have a decent BC. If you are after VLDs or bust, hand loading might end up being the only solution but some chamber and crown work might do the trick. If we already cut you a dial for the HSM stuff and you end up switching, just give me a call and we'll get you a dial to match whatever you end up with. [/QUOTE]
