[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 177779, member: 9140"] Try pushing them into the lands and grooves anywhere from .005-.015. I know when I started working up a load for my rem 700 pss in 7mm mag, I starded at .005 and worked my way out to .020. The shot groups varried and some were good and some were bad but most werren't repeatable. One day one combo would work out and the next it wouldn't be good. I talked with walt berger and he said to try putting them into the lands and grooves. This would make sure that the bullet is strait with the barrel. This might not work in some guns that aren't trued up. When I tried this, it solved the problem 100%. All the groups with the 7828 ssc powder were about half inch at 100. I was very pleased with this. I also read a post on here earlier that with the vld's you want to shoot at 2 or 300 yards instead of grouping at 100. This will allow the bullet to stabilize with some extra flight time. I tried this and the gun was shooting at about 1/3-1/2 moa. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
