[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1625477, member: 94420"] Read this: [URL]https://bergerbullets.com/vld-making-shoot/[/URL] Read it until you fully understand it, then go to the loading bench. Consider what functions 100% reliably in your magazine to be magazine length, and use that as your starting point same as .010" from lands. Then load test rounds just like the article says to for a hunting rifle seating all the way in .130" from max magazine length. Go shoot the test rounds and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I did this from a magazine in an old 1:7 twist .243 Steven's 200 rifle I built with 115 Bergers and DTAC bullets. 100 yard Berger test [URL='http://s143.photobucket.com/user/taylorce1/media/Stevens%206X47/115BergerVLD-1-1.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/taylorce1/Stevens%206X47/115BergerVLD-1-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Berger 300 yard group.
