I just wanted to make a comment about your factory on / off brake. They don't work well at all. If you can take it off(it does unscrew from the barrel) get a good brake and shooting will be more enjoyable for you. When reloading start low and work up in 1/2 grain increments till you see pressure signs. Once you find that wall drop a grain and a half and then work up at 2 tenths at a time to find what your rifle likes. Since you are shooting bergers right away, call berger and talk to one of their techs and they will be able to tell you where to start, what powder and primer to use so you don't waste a lot of time and money looking for the holy grail of loads. One other thing is do research to find out exactly how you want to clean that barrel to rid it of copper fouling which can be a real problem with big boomers.
