Mates,
I have a 700 Mountain Rifle (walnut) in 7 x 57 with a 1 in 10 twist. It is a re-barrel (Douglas Premium), action is squared. 120 gr. Nosler BT's shoot great, as do Hornady interlock 139's. I recently loaded some 162 gr. VLD Hunting Bergers. It occurred to me afterwards that they might be a little heavy for a 1 in 10. (I've got a 280 and so can load the rest of the Bergers for it, if need be) Are they a non-starter, or should I just go to the range and find out?
Thanks
