[QUOTE="stx, post: 1228908, member: 21006"] I've been a little frustrated trying to get this rifle to shoot VLDs. I started as Berger suggests @ .010, .050, .090, & .130 off the lands. I've had a few shot around an inch and one at .742" but most have been between 1-1.5". Today I tried, .030, .070, and .120.......030 & .120 were about like most other loads but it really liked the .070. This group was .287" with 77 grains of Retumbo, neck sized Nosler Brass, and WLRM Primers.....@ 3362 fps avg. Now I just need to get the 127LRXs to shoot.....they're at .7" now but that's at only around 3200 fps with 72 grains Retumbo @ .050 from lands.....as per Barnes rep, they should shoot better at a little more velocity which he says should be around 3350-3400 fps. My Double Tap Ammo is shooting a little over .7" with the LRXs @ 3500+ fps. It won't shoot factory 129 or 142 ABLR but shoots 140 AB factory at .7" @ 3333 fps average. I'm getting there.....slowly but surely! [/QUOTE]
