[QUOTE="DazzH, post: 312662, member: 18365"] I've been using the 95 VLD as a hunting projectile in my 243 and have tried them from a 10 thou jam to 130 thou jump with very little variation in accuracy. With .240 of bearing surface in the neck and 150 thou jump you have a lot to play with. When I had the 95's touching the lands they were held by about 70 thou in the neck, although this is far from ideal it worked. I would say just keep pulling them out further until you find the result you are after. I now use them with 30 thou jump and keep groups to around 1-3/4 inch at 400 yards. The rifle is off the shelf Sako 75 finnlight. Load is - 45 gr N160, Russian primers (I no longer use), Lapua brass, 3160fps. [/QUOTE]
