[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 436128, member: 3745"] Marine Sniper, I am keeping the Bergers under 2900 because of the issue with "nose slump" described by Berger, and the problems others on this site described when running them faster. I have tested them to a little over 3000 fps in my Kahn and they seemed to shoot fine, but I only shot 4 or 5 before the reports started to come in about them not taking the higher speeds. At 2875 they shoot really well out of my Kahn. I originally did not set out to build a fully custom rifle on the MK V action, it just kind of worked out that way. I sent a rebarreled 338/378 up to Kirby Allen because it was not shooting well............ by the time I got it back from Kirby all that was left of the origninal rifle was the action, but now it will shoot 1/4 moa.:) Those who say a Wby action won't shoot just have not had it worked on by the right smith!
