[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 908980, member: 13632"] Here are Bergers specs and recommendation for measuring, I would say therein spec. The larger the bullet the larger the spec range so not hard to see where you should be at!! [B]"When using Berger Bullets, the serious rifle shooter can be confident of the fact that the “SHOOT BETTER, SHOOT BERGER” slogan we use is based on fact rather than marketing hype.
