[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 780289, member: 35183"] Never order VLD's until you have checked Bergers website for compatibility with your own barrel twist. Their 6mm 95gr bullets that have a hunting version that is good for 1:10 twist barrels and they have a longer hunting version (same weight) that needs a true 1:9 and sure enough, my savage 1:9.25 could not get to group it accurately. Beware developing hunting loads in summer which may not group in winter because they were "on the edge" stability wise and just a drop in air temperature means it no longer works out. If you use the stability calculator on their website and you are >1.4 for your winter shooting conditions you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
