[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1900442, member: 64108"] This is one way of wading thru it, addressing the VLD characteristics, the hybrids aren't as sensitive to seating depth. From Berger; Load 24 rounds at the following CBTO if you are a hunter (pulling a bullet out of the case with your rifling while in the field can be a hunt ending event which must be avoided) or a competition shooter who worries about pulling a bullet during a match: [LIST=1] [*].010 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds [*].050 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds [*].090 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds [*].130 off the lands (jump) 6 rounds [/LIST] Shoot 2 (separate) 3 shot groups in fair conditions to see how they group. The remarkable reality of this test is that one of these 4 CBTOs will outperform the other three by a considerable margin. Once you know which one of these 4 CBTO shoots best then you can tweak the CBTO +/- .002 or .005. Taking the time to set this test up will pay off when you find that your rifle is capable of shooting the VLD bullets very well (even at 100 yards).
