jo191145 thanks for the help I appreciate it Savage 12 FV factory other then bedding C.O.L. is 2.374" .015" from lands Nosler brass is ~1.833" V.G. ~.6325" I really like the Bergers, used to shoot moly exclusive but ran into probs. when shooting naked hornadys had too many flyers...

Thanks everybody for the input so far!!! Thinking about what I did before the V.G. testing, I did shoot two foulers. They were berger moly's but like normal I clean between every 10 shots with kroil and butch's. That's the only thing I can say I did. I have never fouled with a moly bullet before so ...

Crazy these are the first loads of mine with benchmark I usually use varget for all my 32 and 40 loads. I was scratching my head on this one. I normally get flat primers with 28 of varget and 40 hornadys but ok head expansion. I was working this load up so I double checked (as always) my weights on ...

27 grs. of benchmark, rem. 7.5 primers, got me 4400 fps, had .002 case head exp. on new brass. Now this was a HOT load in my Savage 12 so use caution. Some tech over at Barnes told me that they had luck with 28.5 of benchmark, good thing I started low!!! I enjoy my face the way it is

hey loaded some up this weekend with benchmark seated .015 off lands got .375" groups @ 100 yds. 4400fps, primers didn't like the load I was using though some major cratering. Think I will back it down a grain or so, was waiting for a little woodchuck to come out to see the beautiful spring day...
