[QUOTE="Zen Archery, post: 1203265, member: 60545"] I have 2 bullets/loads that I shoot out of my custom .308 The bullets I use are 168 Berger VLD and 190 Berger VLD Target loads have lands/free bore seating depth. Hunting loads are AICS mag length (2.890) According to Berger and my ballistic tables I can "hunt" out to 500 yards with the 168 VLD and about another 90 yards using the 190 VLD. The 168 VLD loaded to lands/free bore is accurate out to 800 yards. The 190 VLD loaded to lands/free bore is accurate out to 1000 yards (at least that is as far as I have been able test it). I can use the same MOA for the 168 VLD out to 700 yards. Likewise with the 190 VLD I can use the same MOA out to 800 yards. My observation. I spent a lot of time working on my lands/free bore for an extra 100 yards for the 168 VLD. Likewise spent a lot of time working on my lands/free bore for an extra 200 yards for the 190 VLD. Extra yardage is great for target shooting. Loading to lands/free bore was not necessary out to hunting range at 500 and 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
