Alot of guys say the same about the 40 grain bullets in these guns. I had bought alot of different bullets when trying to get my H&R to shoot good. I had some of the 39 BK and 40 Bergers left. The 40 Bergers did horrible, some never made it on the paper! Next was the 39 BK, was tired of looking at them in the box and was glad I did. Still amazed at how one bullet shoots this good and another will not. Next on the list is the 32 Vmax and also the 30Bergers along with some BLC 2 if they do not like the 4198. Vmax will be first since the local shop has them, bergers will be mail order. Just happy Iwas able to do it. Reloadingcan be a discuraging thing when you do not have the right combo.
