I am looking for some advice on loads for my new 243 Win. I would like to shoot 105s, maybe 115 if my 8 twist will stabilize that bullet. Figuring on probably shooting the 105 VLDs. Any reloading experience with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I have had this question since training day 3 Norfolk VA. but never wanted to ask it because it seems like a dumb question. That said I have used a number of surreptitious means to answer the question with no successes. So screw it, say what you will I'm damn curious… Why does everyone...
Just picked me up a box of these bergers for some long range shooting and am having trouble finding load data for them. Anyone have a recipe and the resulting speed? For reference I have a 24 inch 1/10 twist barrel and typically use IMR 4895 powder. Im not stuck on it, but in these times, Id...
I worked up a load with 155gr Berger VLD's for my 308 and it is shooting very well. I would really like to use them for hunting (deer) but I am worried about their performance. Do any of you have experience with these bullets on deer? I'm shooting them at a little over 2900fps.
I can't find them anywhere and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If anyone has a line on them or has some extra's they don't need/want, let me know. I'm only looking for 2 boxes or so. Just enough to run my 7wsm out to +/- 1500yds a few times. Thanks for the help, CM
Does it matter if you use a VLD chamfer tool or a regular chamfer tool? Im loading for .223 (AR15), .300 Win. Mag. I have been using the regular one that fits on the RCBS trim mate.
I just ordered some berger 190 vld's and was wondering if anybody has good loads worked up that I could try out for 300 short action ultra mag (saum). I have reloading manuals so I don't need references to the books just powder/primer/coal recomendations would be nice. I am currently using a rem...
Can you seat a 180 Berger VLD in a 7mm-08 case to about ~2.840"-2.860" and the ogive not go below the case neck? I was curious if this would work feeding from an AI mag and the bullet be out far enough to touch the lands and still feed from a mag?
Hey Guys I have a Howa 30-06 26" barrel 1-10 twist. I'm starting to reload and I use this gun for Hunting and wanted to load VLD's thinking of 180 grain not sure on components to go along with? I have serched around but not much on VLD's and 30-06 Thanks GMAC
I've made some upgrades to a Rem 700 SPS Varmint (26", 1 in 10" twist) I bought in 300 WSM. I am looking to work up a load for Berger 210 VLD BTHP. My search of the powder and bullet sites came up dry. My reloading manual has 300 WSM loads for 200 gr and 220 gr bullets, but nothing for 210...
I have been working with the 168 VLD 2.830 OAL in my remington VTR and I shot 3 shot groups from 42.5 grains to 45.5 grains of ramshot tac in .5 increments. The 43.5 (2615 fps)grain group was .5" with both surrounding groups about 1 inch and having the same center poi. The 45 grain (2720...
Any idea where I can find them in stock. I have checked Grafs, Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, and Cabelas with no luck. Any help greatly appreciated as I got a new Remington and need something to feed it! Thank you! Curt
Do these really have a BC of .735? Sounds unreal! Anyone have luck with these in a 7WSM? and how do they compare to Bergers 180 VLD? http://www.swampworks.com/jlk/JLK%20Bullets.html
