[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 935422, member: 12995"] Why not just swap to the Berger 168 VLD's...It will be a much easier swap. I have found that none of my 7mm rifles like the 180 Hybrids, except my 7mm STW. I had about given up hope, until I decided to do a ladder-test in my STW just for fun to see if it liked them, and it did. I tried them in all 3 of my 7mm RM's, and none of them like the 180 Hybrids. I guess they were just a tad too heavy and long, and moving too slow for them. However, all of mine love the 168 VLD's. Dropped 2 deer with them this year. First one only ran about 25 yards, and the second one was a bang-flop. She didn't take a step... I have been really impressed with the 168's and the VLD bullets in general, both target shooting and hunting. Back to the topic at-hand...If you have a true 1:9 twist barrel, you SHOULD be able to shoot them fine. I use 7828 SSC, and it has proven day-in, day-out to be very temp stable for me. Both deer I killed this past year were shot in the same weekend, 1 day apart, with the same loads that were loaded at the same time. But the temp had swung about 35 degrees between those shots. The first shot was EARLY in the morning and it was about 18 degrees outside. It was dammit-cold. The second shot it was probably around 50-55 degrees in the afternoon. So far it's survived a 35 degree Alabama temp swing, which is pretty impressive. LOL [/QUOTE]
