Help with Berger .30 cal 215gr hybrids

[Mkokc]

Went to range yesterday afternoon to do some testing and break in with some Berger 185's, 43.6 is max load with varget if I remember correctly, only worked up to 40gr at 2.820 oal, was still pushing just under 2500fps, still have a ways to go, but 3 grains from a full load out of a 19.5" barrel and getting that velocity, needless to say I'm getting a little excited to see what my final results will be

I bet that 19.5 is accurate .
Keep us posted and how did the 185's group for you?

Around 1/2" or a hair more once I got my scope dialed in, just punching paper at a 100 yards for now, would have been much much better if that hadn't been the first time since last year I've shot one of my rifles, out of practice, but that's how it goes

Curious about the intended use of the 215 gr?
Several of us run the berger 185 gr juggernaut
for the 600 yd. Fclass.
They work great.

Glocker, honestly I'm just wanting to run a mix through this rifle to find its maximum potential

you can get load data from - steves pages - I think that's right....not a particular bullet but for the weight range....
