Has anyone shot these yet? Would like to know B.C. if possible. Sierra has no info on their website. Will be calling on Monday. Grafs has them in stock for $32 per 100. Was going to shoot the 180 Berger Hybrid or 175 gr. SMK in new 7mm barrel.

They work great! I shoot them exclusively. I have shot them on many occassions to 2,060 yds. They fly straight. I'm shooting a 338 edge with 30" Pacnor barrel 1-10" twist @ 2,800 fps... I've shot on 2 different trips to the range I set up, 4" 3 shot groups @ 1,930 yds. The Best so far. But on...

I had a 31" stainless supermatch heavy target barrel from Pacnor in 338 edge installed on a sleeved remington 700 for 50 shots. I then sold everything but the barrel to a friend. I sent the barrel back to Chris @ Pacnor and he re-contoured it, choped it to 30", re-crowned and rechambered it, and...

Yes. At 1,000 I go 1moa Left before I dope the wind. At 1,930 I go 3moa Left. Then If the wind counteracts what I have on the scope, I will take it out. The reason I put it on first is so I don't forget about it. Nothing like droping the hammer and see your shot go 20' to the right.

He'll be half as long when I'm done with him! Or maybe twice as long but half as heavy! He stands there to long and he may just dissapear in a red mist!gun):)

Just a small piece of info as far as customer service is concerned. All bullets have a velocity window of effectiveness and reliability. Push one to fast and the effects may vary. But make a phone call to the folks at Sierra,Nosler,Hornady, Etc. and tell them you blew their bullet up pushing it...

I like 1,000 yds. Thats midway between my barrel and where I like to shoot. But I shoot at known and unknown distance from barrel to 2,000 yards, once I know the load is consistantly accurate. I don't worry to much about punching paper. I shoot at 1/2 to 2 moa targets of rock or steele. I spend...

Retumbo is very stable temp. wise. I use Winchester mag. primers with the Berger. Fed. 215's opened the groups 1/2 moa, and E.S. went up, wich is totally opposite of usual. A guy by the name of Mark Skaggs fits my barrels if I don't have Chris at Pac-nor do it. He is a gunsmith here locally...

Bryan, You say you're replacing the current bullet with a tougher one. Is the current bullet still in production or have you halted operations until the new one is figured out? I shoot 338 Edge @ 2,750 and love this bullet, and need to know if they will be available until Gen. 2 is manufactured...

I hope they don't toughen it up too much,or long range reliability for hunting will go out the window. I have recovered jackets that are perfect in my eyes, for terminal performance at long range. After an impact velocity of around 1,300 fps. or so @ 1,930 yds, into a sandstone type rock, they...

Why? Because I shoot alot. And 99% of all my shooting is 1,000 Yds.+. I also Document every shot on every barrel. Weather, date, time, everything. If something with the rifle or load changes I want to know why and how. If I miss more or less or get smoked by the wind, I'll know what to look for...

One 338 Win. mag. barrel I have, I put 5,283 rounds down it in 1 year. March 16th -08 to march 16th-09. Shot 225gr. Sierra FB, and 300 gr. MK out to 1,500 yds... Still shot 5/8" when I took it off. Kept it for conversation peice. Shocking thing is, it's a factory stainless Ruger barrel. When...

I'm jumping them pretty far. My c.o.a.l. is 3.950" and my lands are at 3.4250" with this bullet. With 300 gr. Lapua c.o.a.l. touching lands is 3.80". But I did'nt have trouble with seating depth working up a load for the Berger. What I had trouble with was the sensativity to powder charge and...

I only clean it when it tells me it needs it. About 200 rounds or so. I'ts a Pac-nor stainless Super match with a really snug chamber. I am only loading 89.5 gr. Retumbo for 2,750. Can go a little hotter but my E.S. is 4 fps! Thats for 15 shots. All the Pac-nor barrels I've owned have lasted 2-3...

Got to shoot the Berger bullet past 1 mile twice this week, so far. 1st day, the wind was almost nothing. Second day was windy and real switchy. But awesome anyways. Day 1: took 1 shot to get lined out, went 4' high 4' right. Next 2 hit middle high and low, but on target. Let barrel cool for...
