[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 473561, member: 9736"] It's not your barrel. You found a load that shoots but it's too long for the mag box. Follow the instructions on Bergers web site regarding seating depth. I have a friend that is a match shooter and his best load is .123 off the lands with a Berger bullet. Get the seating depth nailed down and then work on your load. Don't switch around so much, pick a bullet and powder that are know to perform in your caliber and load up a ladder and find the sweet spot then figure out the seating depth. If it doesn't perform try a different primer and if that doesn't work try a different powder. Stick with one bullet. Bergers can be pretty hard to get to shoot. I shoot 162 AMAX out of my 7wsm. Only change one thing at a time. [/QUOTE]
