anybody use 50 gr bergers in .204, my rifle shots 40's better than 32's so i thought I'd press my luck and give them a try but don't see much load info on them, but most of my manuals are getting old(like me)any thoughts?

My guess is that a factory 1-12 twist will not even begin to stabilize them. You need a 1-9 for the 50's and maybe even a faster twist for the 55's. I've heard nothing but good about these bullets in rifles equipped to handle them. I have an old 700 Rem that might become a project for such a build. Dave

I use them in a 1/9 twist Dtech AR with very good results. But don't waste your time using them in a 1/12 twist barrel.
