[QUOTE="aaroncarp, post: 968478, member: 80044"] Perfect, thank you all for your input.. If there is any more info, keep it coming. My plan right now will be to.. 1.) find the OAL that touches the lands, just to know where I am at. 2.) load some 210s at 90, 91, and 92 grains and an overall length that fits in the mag (considering I am kind of set on mag fit... elk can just flat absorb lead and I dont want one walking away) 3.) If I find one of these that shoots .75" or .5" then i will call that a good load for hunting purposes. 4.) If I cannot find one, I will mess with the OAL shorter and longer (maybe .015" increments) 5.) If the VLDs still do not shoot well, I will look for some 230 or 215 berger hybrids. Does anyone have an opinion on which one is better? both are obviously huge bullets with high b.c. 6.) Start from 87 - 88 grains of retumbo and move up from there at a mag fit OAL. 7.) Hopefully at that point I have a load worth something and then I can get it on a chrony and start shooting past 500 with it. Also, the local sports stores have some h1000 and retumbo in stock. I have like 3 lbs of retumbo but would it be worth trying some h1000 too? or just a waste of money that I could be spending on bullets and brass? [/QUOTE]
