[QUOTE="dustybrown, post: 356108, member: 16688"] I too have been shooting the berger 185 vld hunting bullet (orange box) in my Lilja bbl 700 rem. I got the same e-mail for my bullet as above and the max was 96 grains of retumbo. I have shot alot of this stuff.. like 3 pounds now... and I am happy with the group size and it is working well at longer ranges. I shot a pound of RL-25 and was happy in group size out to 200 yards. After that it opened up. I am running 94 grains or retumbo now at a MV of 3060 to 3073.... That seems 200 fps slow for that set up?? was wondering what some other reloaders thought of that... Ive only been reloading for about 3 years now and Im a little scared to increase my charge to get more MV... as I am not so sure how to read preasure signs that well yet... confidence isue ??? I have a nice scope waiting for a drop turet to be finished and im not sure that my 94 grain load is the place to stop. I would like to get out to a 1000 yds in one rotation. As it is now im dialing 70- 1/3 moa clicks to get there. ( not a huskemaw) Im well in to the second rotation. Any advice from some one would be much appreciated... My componets are Rem neck sized brass trimmed to 2.840" CCI 250 or fed 215 m 94 gr. retumbo berger 185 vld coal of 3.687" still fits in mag but alot of bullet jump 3.821" jammed. 27" bbl MV 3063 [/QUOTE]
