[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 271679, member: 2736"] Most of the time the rifle dictates what bullet it likes best and the load it prefers. With the long secant ojive of the berger it may not work in your rifle because of the freebore that the RUMs have,magazine length and head space. Normally when you want to shoot a specific bullet and want to set the freebore to this bullet you have to go with a custom chamber and/or single load the round. I have a 7mm RUM factory rifle and incounterd the same problem and could not make the burgers work even seated long . So I switched to the serria match kings with a standard ojive and with the same powder/primer combo it shoots great. This rifle has a #4 size barrel for hunting and it loves the 160 gr Accubond @ 3458 ft/sec and it is devastating out to 1200yrds on deer size game. Also best group to date with my hunting load is= .328 5 shot @ 100 yrds and .231 3 shot @ 100yrds. With the heaver barrel you should be able to shoot better groups with the right bullet and powder combo. So dont get hung up on one bullet, find the one it likes and be happy . Good luck J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
