[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 558382, member: 18994"] I was running the 190 Berger at 3000fps with RL22, Norma brass, and Fed 215M in my Weatherby Vangard. Nothing to brag about for 100yd groups but consistently .7 MOA at 1000yds with most the spread going to horizontal. Vertical spread at 1000yds was usually just 2-3 inches. This is a sporter weight hunting rig and I'm talking about 3 shot groups from a cold bore, prone off a bi-pod. Recently, I have been running the 190 Berger at 3095fps with H4350, Remington Brass, and CCI BR-2 in the same rifle. I have only run about 50rds of this load thru the rifle at this time on virgin brass and it is looking pretty good at 1000. Once I have all the brass fire formed and give it a light neck turn it should be right there with the RL22 load, maybe better. I have not shot this load at 100yds and I really don't care what it does at 100yds. This rifle will shoot conventional 150 - 180 grain bullets into the .3's at 100yds. A big ole heavy for caliber Berger VLD is the last bullet on my list for shooting small 100yd groups. Don't burn up your barrel trying to make it happen. My COAL fits the magazine with room to spare and a lot of jump to the lands. And yes, pushing a 190 at these velocities is right at max in my rifle and leaves nothing on the table. Thats just the way I roll. You may not reach these velocities in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
