Since I have been using HSM's bullets in the Berger VLD, I checked their web-site to get the differences between the 185 grain VLD I have been shooting and 210 grain VLD. I think I said 180 in my original post, but I meant 185. At 400 yards the velocity of the 185 is 2,339 and the 210 is 2,214...

I will be going on a Dall and Stone Sheep hunt in Aug/Sept 2015. Looking for the best bullet to use in my .300 WSM? I just returned from a Pronghorn hunt in NM and used HSM's 180 grain Berger VLD.

This is my first post to this forum. I will be going on a Dall Sheep hunt in 2015 and needed to hone in my long range shooting precision. I am shooting a .300 WSM in a Tikka T3 Lite. I don't reload so depend upon factory bought ammo. After purchasing boxes of ammo from 6 different suppliers, I...
