[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1069437, member: 17844"] Berger's procedure seems to make little sense to me. It is accepted that VLD secant ogive bullets don't like a jump to the lands so why try them at .150 from the lands. Seems to me to be about wasting bullets which means you have to buy MORE. I would start with the bullet just touching the lands and go from there . You don't want to jam it in too hard as you may pull the bullet out upon extracting an unfired round. The real sweet spot is from just touching the lands to the deepest you can go and not jam the projectile on extraction . You may be able to get good results not touching the lands but it's not going to be way off the lands so what Berger is saying is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
