[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1089299, member: 85389"] Nimrodmar10, If your rifle is the standard "short-medium" action you MAY find that after doing your seating depth testing with the VLD that the round will not fit or cycle through the magazine. If using the rifle in a single shot mode is no issue for you, then no problem. If it is. Go to our 168 CLASSIC HUNTER bullets.
