[QUOTE="steelhead, post: 554982, member: 5773"] Well, I was finally able to get out and test some new loads. (work has been extremely busy). Anyway, I think that I've found that my rifle likes the Berger bullets against the lands as can be seen in the photos below. I loaded these rounds with 90gr of H1000 with the bullet touching the lands and the other three are with 91gr of H1000 again with the bullet touching the lands. Both gave me great accuracy, with the 90gr loads being a bit better. My only concern is velocity. My chrono is telling me 2787 avg. with the 90gr load and 2830 avg with the 91 gr. load. To get the best performance from this bullet, I'd really like to see upper 2800's. I guess I need to confirm the velocity, which I hope to do in the next week or two. What do you guys think? Should I just stick with the 90gr load, because of its great accuracy or play around with the 91gr load and possibly go up a bit in the amount of powder to see if I hit another accuracy node? The picture with the measured group is the 90gr group the second, without the measured group is the 91gr group. [/QUOTE]
