[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 255389, member: 4683"] The vv5 series powders burn hot and are abrasive -i'd change to a hodgdon extreme powder [4831sc] or a vit. powder [n-160 or 165 ? maybe]. Then when you travel from atlanta where it's 1500' in elevation and humid to wyoming where it's 4000' and dry your gun will/should shoot the same. The 168 berger vld will do fine on the critters you mention. Put a barrel on the same or close to the same diameter so you don't have to sand out the barrel channel. A 1-9" twist will shoot bullets up to 180gr no problem. Good luck and welcome to LRH.com -Mike for 1000yd game animals you might try the 180gr bergervld ! [/QUOTE]
