Has anyone had good/excellent accuracy results with 7mm berger 195 vlds ?
In a SAUM ?

I have tried them in 2x 8.5" twist barrels now. They seemed to prefer around .010" jam in both barrels. The accuracy was generally pretty good but maybe not quite as good as I got with 183s.

I might give them another try in my 8 twist pacnor. I have some 183s to try as well. cheers
*********
I am loading some 183s for wednesday and if I jam them they would literally fall out of the case so for this present chamber they will have to like a jump !

Had no problems with them with .020 jump. Shot quite well at 1000 yds.
Cheers,

Trying the 183 sierras first, tomorrow and saturday.

as for the 195s they did not work for me in the other rifle, but yes i have 200 i can try if no one buys them first......& It looks like no-one has got them working very well yet judging by the feedback :)
