Your 1~9.5 twist should be good for up to 210 gr but the oal of the bullet may be playing against you. Have you confirmed the twist using a cleaning rod?

Yes I have confirmed the twist in such a way. As much as I would have loved to see these work I agree that the OAL of the bullet is just too much for this rifle. Then again, experimenting and finding what and what doesn't work is all the fun.
I'll stick with my Lapua D166 and Hornady 220RN for my 200gr+ x39 bullets for future tests.
The way the Bergers acted remind me of shooting the Aguila SSS out of my CZ rifles...they are fairly accurate and just stable enough to not tumble out to medium (50ish yrds) distances. I doubt I'm going to waste these Bergers at 50yrds, or on Groundhogs, but I would imagine that vermin up to Coyote size would be easily removed from the farm if I needed to use them in a pinch.
Now, on to another experiment....
