[QUOTE="StitchJones, post: 3694912, member: 45978"] I'm a flat out fan of Berger bullets. I suspect many would be if they sort their bullets by weight and measurement (measure base to ogive). They seem to me, to be more consistent than the majority of manufacturers. Typically I find the sweet spot on my "jump" (distance from ogive to lands), between .002 and .005. I did have a 6br at one time that really like a long jump for some reason (. 010) , and a 308 that liked to run jammed or touching the lands. I run a ladder test to check powder load, neck tension, and seating depth of loads. I do not recommend a jammed load (touching the lands) on a hunting rifle. Few things worse than pulling the bolt back to unload and dumping the power in the magazine well and realizing there is a projectile stuck in the lands. [/QUOTE]
