[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1065961, member: 85389"] CHARLIEDUCE65, The VLD bullets will usually print higher on a target due to their design. Also ,if you started with a cold clean barrel when you shot the CLASSIC HUNTERS and then shot the VLDs you have built up fouling in the barrel that caused more pressure to be trapped behing the bullet giving them more velocity than the first few bullets fired . Try this. Take about 20 rounds of "blow off" rounds to the range and shoot them at a practice target until the bullet strikes shop rising and start to cluster. Then fire the 130s and the VLDs on another target to give you a more accurate idea of how much higher the VLDs will shoot over the Classic Hunters. Since this is a hunting rifle we would also suggest that you take the rifle to the range another time after you have your seating depth and load work up done with a cold clean barrel . Shoot a 3 shot group with the Classic Hunters. Finish up the session buy shooting fouler rounds at another target. Take the rifle home and DO NOT CLEAN IT. Take it back out the range the next day or so and shoot a 3 shot group out of the cold fouled barrel and compare to the cold clean group.
