[QUOTE="velocity-is-key, post: 698972, member: 32874"] Have lots of experience with the 6/284 and Bergers..Mine a 1:8 twist Kreiger will stabilize the 95-105 and 115 VLDs...95 may be too long for the 10 twist as the VLD can be finicky BUT the key with all my loads were to find the distance to lands and that bullet will really shine and especially at loooong range.. Mine? The 105 VLD likes .120" off the lands!!I know that sounds rediculous but time after time of testing proved it while the Noslar loved the .010" typical to most BTs...My advice is if you must try the heavy VLD in the 10; Give yourself a long jump to the lands which will "lower pressure" And reload to max out the load in the end (work up) as the round may not stabilize in the 100-200yd range "fully" but may beyond the 400 mark...Maxing it out safely will help to stabilize a inadequate twist rate sometimes..Boat tails and VLD bullets are not as accurate at "closer ranges" than the flat base bullets, Hence the bench resters all shoot the flats; they stabilize quicker...
