Bill's already touched on the answer here, and I'll second his call. The 1x9"s became popular when the Sierra 69 was THE heavy bullet for the .223. We've got a much better choice of bullets today,...

Jim,

I'm sure Eric will add to this when he has a chance, but I wanted to see that you get an answer here quickly. If I'm reading your question correctly, no we don't use multiple form dies for...

Hey Pete,

My pleasure I assure you. Seems like we all get comfy in our own little niche, and often don't see what else is going on in the firearms community. Since the ARs are under such intense...

A word from die-hard member of the "pop" "pop" "pop" crowd; the ARs flat outshoot. I can't work up a thrill for blasting away like Pete describes either, but I've used the ARs in Service Rifle...

Hi Jim,

I'm not surprised at the observations you noted, and wouldn't dispute most of them. The two lines are held to the same QC specs, but there are some differences in the jackets, as you've...

Charles,

Specifically, the bullets you cited here are the new, thicker jacketed target bullets. There is absolutely NO truth to the rumor that these are only in 6mm and 6.5mm. We currently list...

Hey Guys,

Sounds like most of you already have the details on this, as several posters have already nailed it; the bullets designated as "Target" are made with a, new, thicker jacket, while those...

Jaybic,

according to the Koran, they do not have the right to kill infidels, they have a duty to do so. They also are justified in lying, making truces they have no intent of honoring (there's a...

So let me get this right . . . we've got an idiot who has done time for firearms violations, proposing new laws to restrict firearms ownership?

How about we propose a law prohibiting Chicagoans...

Larry,

Just a quick addition here; the top three cases of mass murders in this country involved virtually no firearms in their commission. First (of course) is 9/11; commercial aircraft, box...

Lefty,

Depends on the definition of "match." All Bergers are referred to as "match grade" because of the Quality Control standards they're held to in production. The VLD Hunting bullets (with the...

Hey Guys,

For what it's worth, Reloder 15 is the powder that Lake City is currently using in the military's M118LR Match ammo, under a Sierra 175 HPBT, Lake City case (obviously) and a No. 43...

Might save some time here; the 1,000 yard NRA target doesn't have anything close to a 2" X-ring. I'd have to look it up to be exact, but it's closer to 10", basically one MOA. The NRA HP targets run...

Your biggest risk of slamfires in an AR come from an improperly seated primer, whatever the make. Yes there are special MilSpec primers available (the No. 41 has already been mentioned here), but the...

Hi Johnny,

Increasing your OAL by .055" isn't going to change a lot internally, but it's always advisable to work a load back up whenever you change a variable in the mix. In this instance,...

Hey Paco,
Looks like this has already been answered, but yes, your 1x10 is just fine. The Berger listings for twist aren't "recommended" twists, they're minimums for stability. Given a choice...

Tod,
Sorry for the confusion here, but the answers you've already been given in this thread are spot on. For more info and a complete explanation, go to our website, www.bergerbullets.com, and that...

Sinclair has actually produced a couple different models of their concentricity gauge. There's several others out there (NECO, RCBS, Bonanza, etc.) as well, and I've probably used at least a dozen...

that was good. I'd like to think I'm still approaching the mid-range trajectory of my career, and have some time to go before I arc into the descending branch. Just wanted to make sure that my vapor...

Varget and RL-15 are THE powders for Service Rifle shooters with the 77-80 grain bullets, pretty much like 4895 used to be the only powder used M14/M1A relaoding. Both are good, and the adherants to...

Kinda depends on what you're doing here. The Fed stuff can be on the soft side, but should last quite a few firings if the loads aren't pushed too hard. I've had Fed brass go 25-30 firings before the...

Nah, That'd be Kevin From Berger Bullets . . . formerly of Sierra Bullets.

Tony,
Not that Eric and I had discussed changing the box color, but thanks for the consideration. Actually, I find those nice yellow boxes to be about perfect just the way they are, and you'd have a...

Eric,
Go with the faster twist whenever there's a question. More twist that is "required" will rarely cause you a problem, while insufficient twist is ALWAYS a problem. You didn't mention...

Kasey,
Just a quick question here; what type of reloading are you doing? It'll make a difference, believe it or not. Don't use benchrest techniques if your loading for service rifle, and vice versa....
