[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 136507, member: 1403"] Reed- I haven't tried any 180g VLD's as of yet. I was wanting to, but didn't want to try them if my 9 1/4" wont stabilize them. I'd be more then happy to test a few of the 180's if you have some extra lying around. More just to see if my rifle will stabilize them then anything, then I'll buy a whole box. I did however shoot some 168g VLD's a little earlier and Berger list them at .643. So I entered that along with my velocity at 2950, and my first shots at 800 were dead on. The same went for the 30 cal, 210g VLD. It was advertised at like .640, I entered that and at 1150 yards, I was dead on. I was just surprised that it took so many more clicks to actually get dead on, to me that just means the BC isn't as good as some bullets. I agree that the wildcats are very hard to beat accuracy wise, but like you, I think the Berger VLD's are built a little bit more streamlined, which in turn gives a little higher BC. [/QUOTE]
