Here's the results of loading the Berger 108 BT. The Bergers shot better but I shot them before measuring my chamber so I just loaded them to Hornady's load data sayin OAL of 2.260 and after measuring my chamber the OAL of the Bergers I loaded turned out to be the same measurement of my chamber so there was no jump to the lands. So the groups were better with the Bergers except the 30.0 and 30.3gr of LeverEvolution cause 2 of the 5 I shot at 30.0gr were slightly longer OAL, not that much but were a little tight on closing, cause the cases were real full of powder and the 2 were before I shook the powder down to get to 2.260. Also the Hornady 105gr BTHP bullets didn't weight as consistent, the Berger 108gr BT weighed exactly the same which I guess helped too. There was also 10-15mph winds but it was the only day I could shoot. Oh well.
Here's the average FPS.
29.0 - 2735
29.3 - 2768
29.6 - 2799
30.0 - 2845
30.3 - 2915
Also the 30.0gr had 2 tight rounds and the other 3 went almost in the same hole and the fps of those 3 were, 2850.1, 2850.2, and 2851.6 which was pretty nice, but at 30.3gr of LeverEvolution I was gettin close to Hornady's Factory 6mm Creedmoor 108gr, to me that seems real fast. But there was no pressure signs or anything.
