210VLDs in a factory load...part of BVAC?

[twoftagl]

Found 210 VLDs yesterday in 300WM, wondering if anybody has heard of them? The brand is Prograde, and best I can gather is they have some links with BVAC, made in Stevensville MT.

I'm going to shoot them tomorrow to see if my gun likes it, but at $34 a box I figured there wasn't much to loose.

Anybody have any experience with PROGRADE or know if they are part of BVAC?

I'd sure be interested in hearing and perhaps seeing your results! Love the VLDs! Reload my own, but sure would be nice to have a good factory option in a pinch.

I haven't run them through their paces, but shot two groups to see if they were worth further attention.

3-shots at 200yds about 1.4"

3 shots at 400 yards were well under a MOA, but didn't measure it.

Nothing conclusive, but they show potential in my gun. Them rigs are buried in the neck, tho, I can barely see the radius leading up to the bearing surface. A quarter inch jump for me but they certainly don't shoot bad.

More to follow. I'm going out tomorrow again but prob won't have time to mess with them...yet.
