[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 276682, member: 5418"] I've been shooting the 210gr VLD in my 300 WM for several years now. I only managed to get decent results at around 0.01 jammed (as I recall I was trying jump up to around 0.02). But I wasn't really happy with this - I seemed to get fliers (not necessarily the reason for it, but I wonder whether very slight deating depth variation isn't totally critical with a jam which is why more jam was more consistent than slightly jammed or just touching) and I pulled a bullet unloading once and had endless problems for the rest of the day's hunt and ended up borrowing a rifle. I persisted because I was very happy with the on game performance of the bullet. After chatting with a fairly well known national level LR shooter very recently I tried a jump that I thought would never work - around the 0.04 recommended. It's early days, but I've managed a few .4 and .5 MOA groups at 200m and it seems the fliers are gone, even in the larger groups i.e. they are "just bigger" not tight with a flyer. I intend to tweak with charge here and not COAL. In short I can say that this really seems to work although I still need to do more work on it. I can also run a bit quicker with less pressure with the jump, although it seems my best results are so far around 2780 - 2820 or so. [/QUOTE]
