[QUOTE="benellishooter3, post: 710738, member: 55154"] Update, i have received 200 more Berger 180 vlds. loaded about 30 today. had to go shoot this afternoon i couldn't wait. the weather was far from perfect for shooting any kind of distance and the wind was blowing pretty good, around 15. i went to 250 to zero my scope, i shot 2 fouler shots let cool, didn't have to cool much with wind and 45 degree temps. then shot a 3 shot group. it was just a bit under 1.5 inches vertical and 1 inch horizontal!! i think it is a great group giving conditions and the shooter. i am really impressed with the rifle so far and the scope. the last time i shot, the scope was dialed into 865 yards in strelok. i typed in 250 for today and i was only 2 inches high at 250. so my data in strelok and the scope adjustments must be really close. the adjustments on the scope are very defined and feel solid. the turrets can be zeroed out and it comes with shims for the zero stop if you like. i have a 20 moa rail mounted on the LRH, that leaves me 16.2 milrad up and 4 milrad down for adjustment. looking in strelok, guessing that my data is close, i should be able to dial to 1590!! lol. i am hoping to do more grouping this weekend weather and time permitting, but i am sold on the 180 vld for now. i will probably do more load testing at a different time but right now with deer season 2 weeks out i am going to zero and practice with what i have going. feel free to ask any questions about the gun, scope, loads. anything i can answer i will. again this is my first review of any kind and realize i am rambling some. just excited to get a good shooter in my price range. couldn't be happier right now. benellishooter, gun) thanks to all who have replied to any of my questions.
