[QUOTE="KDB, post: 375730, member: 18510"] I would check out the sticky thread in the reloading section about getting the best performance and accuracy with Vlds. It will help you get the sweet spot you are looking for with these bullets. Essentially you start with the bullet .010 jammed into the lands, then back it off .040, and then another .040 (.080 off lands) and then another .040 (.120 total). Somewhere in there you should see it settle down and produce the groups you are looking for. At that point you do the finite adjustments in +/- .010 until you get it right. The thread suggests 6 rounds per depth change, but I would imagine that 3-4 would be sufficient. I have had good luck with Retumbo and 190 vlds and 208 amaxs. Going to try VV N-570 next. [/QUOTE]
