reloading 75 grain vld Berger

[hburner]

I have tried a search and did not find anything, if possible could someone just point me in the right direction?
There is no mention of these in my Lyman manual 14 and did find anythin very helpful by just searching the web in general.

16 inch AR is what it is being loaded for. I have loaded and shot with good resulst,the 77 grain Sierras and 75 grain Amax(load one at a time with these and that sucked).
thanks for any help, hburner

Your not going to be able to go mag length. Shoot hornady 75's for mag length. 70 Berger VLD's will load and shoot quite well from mag length.

FWIW, I shoot 75 Berger VLD's with 24.0 H4895 in a 20 In rifle, .010 into the lands and also .030 off for 2900 fps and excellent accuracy. single load, of course as they end up ay 2.410 or so OAL.

get a .224AR (necked down 6.5Grendel) and you can shoot them mag length

Otherwise, enjoy single feeding them - watch your fingers and the bolt release!
