[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2653930, member: 313"] The Berger web site explains how to find the best OAL with their VLD bullets. The same method can also be used with non-VLD bullets. They indicate that while some bullet/rifle combos shoot well with a very short jump, it is also possible to find accurate loads with .125" jump. I would set the shorter bullets so that they have adequate neck interference and work from there. Use a ladder test to look for the best jump from that point. BTW - a 150 Accubond is .165" off the rifling when seated to mag length in my .308Win. Just by chance, it shoots very well right there. I was just lucky but bullets seated with a large jump can shoot great. [/QUOTE]
