[QUOTE="rcol317, post: 1022805, member: 42917"] I posted this question on other sites and am anxious to get some feedback. Was helping a friend that is just getting into reloading and was having accuracy problems. I've loaded for 40 plus years and am puzzled. He's shooting 115 VLD's and @ 100 yards and 200 yards is getting 1 1/2 MOA groups but @ 400, 500 and 650yards is getting 1/2 Moa accuracy. at 650 yards 3 shot group can cover with a coffee cup? I shot the load and found he is WAY over loaded for pressure and will need to back off the load quite a bit. When I asked him how he came up with load he said "just kept adding .5 grains until is shot well. Lucky is a high dollar custom rifle the action held together. Note: PRINTED LOAD DATA IS IMPORTANT I was stumped why it didn't shoot well 100/200 but shoots well @ 400 yards plus? Thanks Rick [/QUOTE]
