[QUOTE="LB, post: 35287, member: 2721"] Well, I think that's why the previous responder was asking about your twist. You have to consider the bearing surface of the VLD bullet, and what RPM it will take to stabilize it, for optimum accuracy. You may need a faster twist than the standard factory barrel. The one I have, for instance, is a one turn in thirteen inch twist, and I wouldn't know if it is enough for that bullet (115VLD) without trying it. If you are just looking for a good deer bullet at reasonable distances, I use the 110 Gr. Berger, the 100 Nosler BT and the 96.5 Starke; a special run I requested. It all depends on your expectations. But, I promise, that 100 grain Ballistic Tip is a 500 yard deer bullet at 25'06 velocities. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
