[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1730758, member: 108148"] The throat of this gun will be optimized for shooting this bullet at this seating depth. that does not mean that it wont shoot other designs, it just means that it should allow the highest possible powder capacity with this bullet in this gun while having a jump that helps the bullet to perform. any bullet with an equivalent or shorter meoplat to ogive can be loaded in this set up. the list of bullets that fit that description is long. like I said I have already verified that the drt bullets I have already bought for this gun will also fit the chamber. in fact I hope to use them more than the vlds. it's interesting that a few people seem concerned with custom throat length being a commitment to this one bullet and yet all over this sight people are ordering reamers specific to shooting 170 grain eols loaded so far out they have to be built on long actions. those set ups really are getting married to 1 bullet design. ok maybe like 2 or 3 manufactures make bullets that are long and heavy enough to fit the bill but very few. In none of those threads have I noticed concerns with being married to just the 1 design. Berger isnt going anywhere any time soon, not at all worried about that. as far as lines being discontinued yeah that makes me a little nervous, which is why I went fishing on here to see if anyone knew anything. however if berger decides to cut one of their 140 grain .270 lines why would they cut the one that has a higher bc and an ogive that is friendlier to otc rifles? plus if the drt bullets dont shoot I'll probably just make a bull order of the vld classics [/QUOTE]
