[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1296922, member: 9551"] I built a rifle to shoot the 55gr Bergers. It is a 28 inch 8 twist McGowen with an Answer brake so I can see where they hit. So far I have just shot it at the clay bank at 550 yards at my Club. I shoot clay pigeons and paper targets so far. I neck down Norma 6mm BR brass to .20. 20 BR and have experimented with R-17 and VV N-550. I am using the Magnaspeed bayonett chronograph. I get 3626 with 27.9 gr of R-17. The same charge of N-550 is right at 3600 fps. CCI 450 primers. I regularly split andesite stones in at the range. I often use stones to prop up the the clay pigeons. The stones shatter from the impact. I think these are penetrating bullets. I have had them ricochet off the ground and they skip into the target intact. [/QUOTE]
