[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 700845, member: 14172"] So just a stupid question that I was curious about. I am starting to load for my new 6x47 Lapua, and I have 80gr Varmint Ballistic Tips and 87gr VMax's all behind some R15. I know when reloading my 7WSM for the 180gr Berger Hybrids and VLD's, I've read and witnessed that they need around 200 yards or so to settle down (I've actually shot smaller groups at 200 yards than 100 yards). My question is does all bullets act like that or is it mainly a problem with the VLD's? Should I not do groups at under 200 with the lighter varmint bullets? Thanks for the answers! [/QUOTE]
