[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 362322, member: 1039"] [b]Re: .308 / Berger VLD's of differning weights[/b] Bryan- The 190 VLD's are awesome. I found a pet load for IMR-4350 and the 190 VLD (now I get to do the same drill with less of faster powders) that yielded a pair of bullet holes (round ones) touching at 100 yards (the test that I was doing required only two rounds per load to identify the better charge weight for a specific powder.
