[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 324502, member: 4191"] I shoot both 168 7mm and 210 308 Berger VLDs 0.010" into the lands in my 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag. VLD have a history of doing well jammed into the lands. I seem to achieve lower ES and SD there than off the lands and I speculate the back press against the lands may help get more consistent rates of powder ignition. Both loads are hunting loads. 0.5 moa or less out to the ranges I shoot. I load these single shot style and both loads will eject unfired rounds with the bullet intact. I do use a Hornady gauge on dial calipers to ensure the seating depth is within +/- 0.0006" simply for consistency purposes. [/QUOTE]
