    Of that list I would choose interlocks
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Cant see a list either. Bergers are what I use now but only in one caliber. Someone mentioned interlocks so I will vote for them as I have had no issues with them in several calibers at all sorts of ranges.They just work.
