[QUOTE="k8hvntn, post: 779445, member: 61282"] true on the twist rate most are not exactly 1:9 but Ive never seen on a box of berger needed exactly 1:9 or 1:9.25 ext. it is a reference. the only way to know is to shoot them. 42 grs is max and yes start about 39 or 40 and work up. simple things like which primer and even diff brass can raise or lower pressures. not to mention temps. as for "jamming" I have not seen the sticky on this Deff would be interesting. But I do know from personal experiences with VLDs that they like to touch or be into the lands a little. They are about all I shoot if i can. Just for the BC factor. as far as i know they have not changed VLDs to want to jump. But have created the Hybrids. That are a cross between a competition and hunting bullet that are to SAMI specs. these do like to be jumped a little and are more likely to go into the mag. Also for a bullet pulling out when jammed and than extracted. This usually will happen with a competition shooter that is neck sizing using a neck tension die. They set the tension to 1 to 3 thou bullet tension depending on what the gun likes. some times it could be too light and the barrel will pull the bullet from the cartage.
