[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 871383, member: 61747"] Another good point. Thanks Greyfox. The load posted above that shoots a lower ES and SD is only able to put 1moa on paper at 100 and 200. I took it to 200 last night with .010, .050, .090, .100, and .130. VLDs seem to shoot better at .100 in my rifle that is why I have the .100 in there. Nothing really came together though. I threw in my pet load for the 160 matrix and it only shot .5 MOA at 200. It had been shooting a solid .25 moa at 200 before so something is different. Could be throat errosion. .5 is not bad so I zeroed the 160's and loaded the remaining 12 bullets I had. Taking one of the boys out tonight to hunt deer. On another note, I ordered another 100 160 matrix bullets and if all else fails I will load up my remaining lot of retumbo with these and they will be my wolf ammo for the winter. Unfortunately they are only flying around 2700 fps so my max range is not as far as I would like (due to terminal velocity). I will have to look and see what the min FPS is on these. Berger says around 1800 for the 140 vld hunt. [/QUOTE]
