[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2155731, member: 116181"] Did you actually shoot it to find 0.015" off is where you need to be? Or just racing paper to get a starting point? Secant ogive bullets can have a second (or even a better first) node sat deeper into the case. Berger recommends backing out in 0.040" increments with their VLDs: (note that is for secant ogive VLDS only, they recommend starting at 0.015" off and backing out by 0.005" for tangent and hybrid ogive) [URL unfurl="true"]https://bergerbullets.com/getting-the-best-precision-and-accuracy-from-vld-bullets-in-your-rifle/[/URL] I thought I was going to have a 300 RUM at 3.820" with 210 VLDs but the 3.7xxs are looking more promising so far. Probably still doing the 4" Wyatt's just because if the action is coming out for the cuts, might as well go all the way. Not sure what barrel it'll wear in the future. [/QUOTE]
