[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2150037, member: 116240"] My last load for the 180 VLD Nosler Brass Fed 215M Primers H1000 Powder 70.1 Grains 2958 FPS AVG ES 13 SD 6 .051" off jam 1.46" 4 shot group at 650 yards best group. I tend to agree somewhat about the 180's being a little heavy and the 168's a better fit a little. So I started last week a ladder on the 175 Elites. The ladder yielded a node with 3 shots and .6 grains difference all hitting same hole at 200 yards. So I loaded 5 different seating depth charges and I'm currently waiting for a calm day to shoot groups on them. The load charged I settled on was: Perterson Brass, pockets uniformed, flash holes uniformed, LE Wilson expanded necks only. Fed 215M Primers H1000 Powder 70.8 Grains .106" off Jamb 3 ladder. shots same hole clover leaf group @ 200 yards and those 3 shots where 3066 fps, 3068 fps, 3069 fps. Crazy good. I'll post the results of the seating depth testing when complete. I'm guessing it will be way off jamb. Granted I wouldn't hesitate a minute to shoot an elk size game at that yardage either. I think the combo is very good. I think the 168 will do the same if not a little more killing explosiveness so that's what intrigued me about the 175's. [/QUOTE]
