[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1673384, member: 33751"] Years ago I was loading the 210 Berger VLD for a 300 WSM with 1/10 twist. At 100 yds I had one hole 5 shot group. The first chance I had to take the rifle out to distance revealed terrible grouping at longer ranges. I didn't have the patients to mess with changing primers, reworking up the load, or any other remedies. I was already loading up where it was showing high pressure signs on the brass. I assumed it was lack of velocity caused the bullets to destabilize. Not really sure. But combining this problem with the "too long for magazine" and cost of the bullets I just switched bullets. We already know from Horandy's dopler radar testing that plastic ballistic tips melt after longer flight times. So I don't waste my time on anything other than the ELDX as it's tip is designed to mitigate this problem. [/QUOTE]
