[QUOTE="scottyboy, post: 1204620, member: 91491"] thanks everyone for the great information! it seems like my first problem is using the out dated info on the tech sheet here on the forum, i knew the topic was a bit dated, but in my ignorance didnt think the VLD had changed from then to now...so i assumed the twist info was still valid. so moving forward i will just stick with the more accurate/current website calculator it is reassuring that some of you have had good luck shooting the 168's but as RockyMtnMT points out that it might be marginal (*read, could have potential problems) so i might steer away from the 168 VLD all together. my fear is that it will be good on paper, but the last thing i want is to be shooting bullets at a animal that might not perform how i am expecting them too and having ill effects when it impacts. here again i am not assuming i would have problems or even think that i would, but given the twist rate concern and the sg 'score' i think i am going to look for another option i am going to keep the HSM loaded Bergers on order and will shoot them either way, but i am also going to look at the ELD-X and the Nosler bullets i know that i am over thinking this whole bullet selection thing, but this is my first setup i have invested a good bit of money in (well, for me anyways) and according to Cooper it should be a shooter, according to Nightforce the rings and scope i have will track/shoot/keep my scope where it needs to be etc so i dont want the bullet to be the hangup, id rather it be me,...knowing the components i have in place will do their job, if i do mine. this was all much easier in the past before i knew there was a science behind it all, i would just go to cabelas and have the guy behind the counter sell me whatever random model 700 that was the flavor of the day and then i would walk by and grab the first box of ammo for that caliber..:) thanks again for all the input! scott [/QUOTE]
