[QUOTE="ifgator, post: 1414280, member: 98152"] I haven’t read this thread but I did offer to have the OP PM me which he did. Now I will never criticize a persons choice of a bullet because that is the fun IMO of reloading is choosing what you want to use for whatever reason it may be and seeing what you can do with it. Having said that I will no longer choose a VLD bullet for hunting for 1 reason. I want to dictate the seating depth and VLD’s are crazy jump sensitive and just as this gentleman found the best depth is .130 Well hell thats taking up a huge amount of case space which is meant for more powder and more velocity at less pressure and less wiggle in the jump. So I chose Elite hunters which are NOT jump sensitive, high BC, and load them at 20 thousandths off the lands backed by RL 26 in Nosler brass and federal GM 215 primers. I worked up some calculations etc and I doubt people will believe me but my FIRST trip to the range produced a 5 shot 1/2” group at 100 yards with a satisfying 3,056 FPS average on a 175 grain bullet. Now I will take it to 600 yards and fine tune for the hell of it. [/QUOTE]
