Berger VLD?

[Raven34]

I went to the local gun shop today to get some Berger VLD 130gr bullets to do some reloading. Im reloading for a remington 700sps .270 wsm with a 1 in 10 twist rate. I didnt notice until i got home but on the box of the Berger's it states to use a 1 in 11 twist rate or faster. Am i still good or am i going to notice accuracy problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

10 twist is faster than 11

Then im all backwards. For some reason i thought it was the opposite. Thanks Cobra.

no problem there. Just a heads up if you havent used the vlds, all of mine have liked being close to the lands. Definitely not as jump tolerant as an SMK.

definately keep them close to the lands. For benchrest alot of people jam about 10-20 thou but that isn't the best option for a hunting gun where you need to eject unfired rounds.

I've used them in my Tikka T3 .270 win 1 in 10 twist with H4831 sc with good results the were easily sub moa at 100 yards. As others have said I found them to more accurate when there seated close to lands.

Like the Berger link indicates, you can do load development (ladder test, etc) by varying COAL instead of powder charge.
