I was wondering who has compared the Berger 130gr VLD against the 140gr Amax out past 600 yards. I am looking for more stababilty against the wind!!

Re: 6.5 X 47 shooters Burger vs Amax
The 130 VLD have almost the same as the 140 Amax. From my balistic calculations and testing, those two are pretty equal. If you step up to the 140 VLDs, then you'll be bettering yourself, assuming your rifle will like them.
In my rifles, my loads calculate as:
130gr VLD @ 2840 fps - 77.82" drift @ 10 mph @ 1000 yards
140gr Amax @ 2878 fps - 76.65" drift @ 10 mph @ 1000 yards
140gr VLD @ 2849 fps - 67.45" drift @ 10 mph @ 1000 yards
