Bergara rifles

[Fire fox]

Does anybody have any experience with the Bergara B14 rifles?

I have a b14 hmr in 308. Having a hard time getting it dialed in. Tried numerous factory and reloads.

Does anyone have recommendations on reloads. I have 168 grain Berger hunting vid’s and lapua brass.

If youre having trouble with your reloads try some factory gmm ammo for a baseline. You can then get that load recipe off the net to try to duplicate. Make sure youre using large primer brass and grab some sierra 168 to get a baseline with- those 2 work everytime

Your question is very open ended. I'm sure throwing money down the barrel isn't giving you any answers.

What kind of problem are you having? Have you made sure everything is tight? Do you have a functioning scope? What is your reloading process? Are you capable of making precision reloads? Do you have any reason to believe you have a bad gun? Can other people shoot your gun well?

My HMR shoots many different factory loads well, blue box and Norma whitetail shoot very well.

My gun does not like being loaded long at all. I haven’t tried much yet but 150sst with most any appropriate charge of IMR 4064 shoot under one inch. 46.5 and 48gr both shoot better. All 2.8” over all length, if I go longer it opens up quickly.

I had a B14 in 6.5 Creed. Never could get it to shoot well. Factory Savages kept groups 1/2 the size. Sold it, but wish I had kept it for the action to build on as that part was fairly decent from a feel and cycling perspective, but with that said the firing pin hole in the bolt was too big and would require a sleeve or a new firing pin. Kept cratering severely even on mild loads, Response from Bergara was useless, only shoot factory loads...., then finally a got them to give in and they said use only magnum or MIL spec primers......, OH and never use Lapua SRP brass.

Not to hijack the thread.
I have a 308 built on a 700 action. I had a hell of a time getting it to shoot like I thought it should. Its a #4 Benchmark 10 twist barrel. I tried Varget, IMR 4064, H4895 and probably some other powders. I also tried different bullets. I finally tried a 150 gr Sierra Prohunter with IMR 3031 and BINGO! 1/2" 3 shot groups. Then I ran out of the Prohunters so I bought some Hornady Interlocks and still shot 1/2" I haven't tuned my seating depth yet. I also haven't chronographed it either. It sure did kill the hell out of 2 deer and 2 hogs this last deer season.

I've got a wilderness terrain in 300win mag wouldn't shoot anything until I stopped cleaning the barrel and put about 50 rounds through it now its a 3/4in rifle with 180 TTSX

In my 308's (a Win model 70 and a Ruger RPR) IMR 4064 & 4895 respectively have been the best powders.
