[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 729579, member: 5219"] Seeing no one is answering I will offer a couple of things I discovered with my 6mm-284. I didn't try the 115 Berger VLDs but did try the 115 DTACs. Have a 1 in 7.5 twist 28" 5R bartlein in 6mm-284, never got them to shoot. My friend bought the same barrel and chambered it for the 6mmSLR and IT wouldn't shoot the DTACs either. I am writing towards something bear with me.... I switched to the 107 Sierras and at least the rifle proved the rifle would shoot. Then the 105 Berger target Hybrids showed up. Did you know their BC is higher than the 115 VLD's? Load: 58 gr of Retumbo, 105 Berger target hybrid seated .065" off rifling vel 3307 fps. THEN RL-33 came out! Worked up to 64grs as a safe load for vel of 3485 fps. That is an increase of 178 fps!!! If you do decide to try a 115 VLD perhaps for better hunting perfomance you could give RL-33 a try. Start with mid range or slightly higher Retumbo load data and work up. Bet you'll gain some velocity. IMHO I'd go with the 105 hybrid with its slightly higher BC and greater velocity. [/QUOTE]
