Wanting to try these bullets but berger recomends a 1 in 13" twist. i'm shooting a 1-10" 20" tube. Anyone see any issues with this or should I be looking at a different bullet? I've been shooting 168gn Amax with good results. i'm just looking for something a little more suited to long range hunting.

It is a factory savage barrel. It will be getting changed in the future.

I get 1" groups at 300 yards in my 06 with 1:10 twist. Works great to 1K.

I shoot 185 bergers with a 1-10 twist rock. It shoots small groups.

Looks like I'll be giving them a try. Maybe burger lists that as the slowest recomended rate of twist?

Faster is Ok, The LRBT was more accurate out of my rifle, and has a slightly higher BC. VLDs are usually more sensitive to jump.

What kind of COAL are you guys ended up with. I understand its different gun to gun, I guess what I'm getting at is are you guys loading them touching the lands like berger recomends?

My 185 VLD Hunting are .057" off the lands. I use my rifle as target/ Hunting rifle. So I don load touching the lands. I did what Berger recommending, find your powder load then test .010, .050, .090, and .130" off the lands. One COl wil stand out from the rest and fine tune from there.Seems to work well for me.
