[QUOTE="jhibbard24, post: 560259, member: 25072"] I've heard that VLDs won't quite stabilize by the time that it reaches 100 yds. therefore it is better to shoot them at 200 yds. for load development testing. i've had bergers punch some nice, tight ragged 5 shot holes at a 100 yds before. Whats your opinion. (Barrel twist is 1-10) Working on some .300 WSM loads and the 190 VLD hunting bullet using both Superformance powder and RE-17 (trying to get around 3000 fps). The re-17 is looking more consistent and promising but still not quite as tight of groups that i'd like to see. [/QUOTE]
