[QUOTE="scottyboy, post: 1204479, member: 91491"] needing a sanity check or advice on seeing if it makes sense for me to be shooting a Berger out of my Cooper rifle with a 26" bbl 1-10 twist setup. i keep second guessing myself on what Berger bullets are ideal, if i look at the "sticky post" with the Berger tech data, it appears as if the 168 hunting VLD is suited for a 1-10 twist however if i go to Bergers' website and enter the 168 hunting VLD (guessing on the FPS) it reports back the 168 hunting VLD is not a good choice if i keep the same data, but enter the Berger hunting classic bullet, everything seems good. when i first saw the 168 VLD on the tech sheet, i was happy as this is the bullet i was hoping to shoot..but going to the website it seems as if thats not the case. furthermore, i do not reload and i have yet to find a company that is loading the Berger classic into a 7mm as every place i have looked only loads the VLD. admittedly i am likely overlooking/overthinking something very simple-stupid.. i could just "buy and try" some different Berger loaded rounds, but id rather avoid spending hundreds only to shoot 3-5 rounds and then realize the bullets just are not meant for my particular setup. i have attached 3 pictures to this post that i am basing my concerns off of any thoughts, advice, wisdom or slaps to the back of my head to get me thinking straight are appreciated! scott [/QUOTE]
