[QUOTE="sliceman, post: 862419, member: 24539"] I also have the Cooper 7-08 but walnut/blued. I am working up a load with 140 VLD's and find I am 0.090 off the lands if I want the bearing surface of the VLD to be in full contact with the neck brass. I could set the bullet out to 0.060 off the lands and barely fit the magazine (2.83") but would have less bearing surface grasped by the neck. Heavier bullets (ie 168 VLD's/162 AMAX etc) you can get close to the lands but then cannot fit in the magazine. The 140's shoot fine (.5-.75 MOA) with my rifle using Varget at 0.090 off, so I think my load development for this rifle is almost done. [/QUOTE]
