Berger 80.5gr Fullbore Testing
Hello all, have been testing these 80.5 Berger Fullbores in my Tikka t3x 223 1:8 twist. After reading various posts on this forum and help from Dog Down and Jason I think im very close to cracking the code. Below is a seating depth test I conducted yesterday with 24.2gr of varget in lapua brass and cci br4 primers. As you can see 30 thou jump performed best, might try another test with 24.5gr of varget and see how they group.

Pretty much mirrors my results with .030 jump and Varget. I'd run the same test with 24grs & 24.5grs just to see what happens…
I settled on 24.3grs for my final load because its pretty much exactly right in the middle of an accuracy node with very little POI shift +/- charge weight.
Well done,…that's a solid MOA performer out to 1000yrds if conditions allow you to shoot that far.

Iagree with dogtown
I have 500 80.5 Berger bullets on hand but have not developed loads yet -
Good shooting guys. I was going to give the fullbores a try in my T3 because I heard they were easier to tune than the VLD's, but ” I SEEN IT ON THE INTERNET” that they weren't as accurate as some. I regrouped, and shot Berger 73's all summer with some stellar results . BC sucks on the old 73's, but I won quite a few factory sporter class matches with them in a superlite no less.
