    Going from 105 amax to 105 berger VLD?

    Ive done all my load workup with the 105 Hornady amax. I'm wanting to give the 105gn Berger VLD a try and see how it performs comparably. Will I have to work my load back up to avoid pressure? With the 105 amax I'm using 40gn of IMR-4350, Lapua cases, Federal 210M primer and seated at 2.800"...
