here is a clip for ya guys. it was my first shot of the day, cold bore. 300rum, kreiger, jewell, badger, nightforce, hs, etc, etc.... shooting 185vld's over RL25.
ya at the shooting position i had a bit of wind from right to left, so i held 1/2 moa right for wind, and hit that spot, should have just held shoulder.
i think that was the first time i actually held to much for wind. usually it's the other way around.
Very nice indeed!! Can't beat a first round, cold bore shot from almost a grand that results in a clean take-down like that.
Out of curiosity, what kind of MV and ME are you getting with your 185gr VLD load? I have shot the 210gr VLDs from my 300WM with great success, but I am curious how much you can get out of the 185gr VLDs. Looks like they still hit like a sledgehammer at almost 1k!!

YIKES!! I guess it is time to give the 185s a shot (pun intended)!
