[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 229686, member: 5219"] After your hunt you can go back and try some more tweaking. I have a 7 STW and 7 RUM that didn't shoot the 168 Berger VLD when close to the rifling. You won't believe where they do shoot. Both are approx .160" away. I admit to having several rifles that won't shoot the VLDs BUT the two rifles chambered for 257 Weatherby shoot super tight groups with the 115 VLDs and a .070" jump. If you still have bullets hanging around try continuing the seating the bullets deeper into the case. .020" increments should show you a trend. FYI I ordered some 180 VLDs to try in the 7 RUM. If I can get 3100 with a 26" barrel I will be happy. Have a great antelope hunt. [/QUOTE]
