[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1336704, member: 87243"] Reloder 26 does magical things. In my .260 Ackley I was shooting the 147's at 3015 fps, and got up to 3100. Now with H-4831sc I only got 2975 with the 147 I'm currently shooting a load 1.2 grains or so under my max with Reloder 26 and the Berger 140, and it is going 3090 fps. My max is 3170 fps. I REALLY wanted to stick with the 147, but I just couldn't get it to shoot as good as the Bergers. The 140 HVLD's were consistently going in 5 shot groups under .3" at 100 yards, and were holding half MOA or less all the way out to 1300 yards. The 147's in my gun had e.s.#'s in the 20's or higher, grouped .5"-.8" at 100 yards and all I could count on them at range for was about 1 MOA. I weighed a box of 100 and they varied .7 grains for the entire box, so I figured that was the reason. I weighed some of my Bergers and stopped at 50 because they were all the same, 140.0 But, now that Berger is making a heavy, high BC bullet, I think it will be perfect for alot of shooters. I'm confident I can get 2950 or more in my rifle. That will be freaking awesome. [/QUOTE]
