[QUOTE="mtnwrunner, post: 553410, member: 17701"] Chris, I had never used berger bullets before this year. So what I did and it worked well for me is to figure out what the COL was so that the cartridge would fit in the magazine as that was important to me for the kind of hunting and shooting that I do. After that, I just started experimenting with different powders and grain weights. It didn't take too long for me to find out what it liked. I never once messed around with the seating depths--i just made sure that the bullet was off the lands and basically used SAMII specs. I shoot a 300 win mag and am shooting 1/2 to 1/4 inch at 100 with a 190 grain berger. Like I said, I have not used the berger before and my season starts on the 10th of Oct, so i hope to see what they do. Randy [/QUOTE]
