[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1110388, member: 74902"] I too think .135 is a bit weak for a hunting cartridge. The rest of it (boat tail) is just consuming case capacity. Can you pull the bullet out with your fingers? If so, IMO, that is not good. I shoot the VLD in 3 rifles. 6.5 Creedmoor - seat to the lans for best accuracy 300 WSM - seat to the lans for best accuracy 300 RUM - seat 20 thou off lans for best accuracy (go figure) Did you try the Berger seating depth test they suggest? Your rifle may well shoot the VLDs off the lans. Never know unless you try.
