Wondering if anyone had any luck with 50gr bergers?

Assuming the question involves the .204 Ruger. My experience is that they are real shooters, but they require a fast twist barrel. I used them in a 1:8.5" twist 24" Pac-Nor barrel. Using Varget powder they shot around .5" ten shot group at 100 yards, but may do better. I didn't have the time to continue experimenting. Velocity with these heavy bullets ran around 3,200 fps about all that can be expected.
