Berger 155.5gr Seating depth.

Post by Barossa_222 »

Hi all. Was wondering if anyone has found a preference with regards to jump or jam with these projectiles? Trying to improve my accuracy. Was getting fairly good results using 15 thou of jam, but am now getting quite a lot of vert and am using all of the 6 ring at any given range. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers.

I found 10th jump worked well when I was using them.
When I ran them with no jump or jam the group started to open up then 10th jam the group was bigger.
As I moved back to 20th jump the group also opened up so I settled for 10th Jump.

As always each rifle is different so just try some group testing with jump and jam and then refine from there.

I run 10-15 jump with mine but have a play and see where they like to sit.

Mine group well 40 thou off the lands and don't seem overly sensitive between 25 and 40 thou off.

You'll probably get responses ranging from jump to jam.
