[QUOTE="Mowdy Ag, post: 447051, member: 14629"] Whitesheep - I haven't loaded Sierras or Bergers for my Encore but have heard that Bergers do shoot best when touching the lands. That is not the rule of thumb for Barnes, although Mike Bellm reported good results in doing this for at least one 280 AI rifle. Aside from Bellm's exception, it seems to be generally accepted that, in most cases, Barnes bullets do best when they "jump" into the rifling. I did not test them with .000" clearance due to concerns about possible pressure issues with the all-copper bullets (although it apparently worked out OK for Bellm). Bottom line is, I wouldn't necessarily assume that what worked for the Sierra's and Berger's would work for all bullet brands in your rifle. Thanks for the tip on the other thread - I will check it out. MA [/QUOTE]
