[QUOTE="garyk, post: 444322, member: 13746"] I thought I had posted a followup to my load questions on this thread from summer 2009, but maybe not.. so here's what happened. I got a box of 140gr VLD's from Bergers and followed the Berger suggestions for hunting load development. Found that for my Tika, the sweet spot was around 0.100 off the lands. And that was great for the long throated gun as the bullets then fit great in the magazine. Used H4831SC powder, Winchester cases & primers. Had great results at 63gr and 65 gr (less than MOA) but over MOA with 64 gr. Net result was being blessed with a great Dall ram in the Brooks Range. Thanks to all of you that offered ideas and advice. Picture at Berger's Hunting Success Stories..
