[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 586100, member: 10291"] I ended up getting my best accuracy with the Hunting Berger VLD's with two different rifles when I backed them off the lands , in both rifles, around .075". I have had the same results with the JLK's. My groups were 2x the size or more when I was under .020". As to terminal performance, I have been very impressed with game shot between 50 yards out to 1000 yards. Half inch entrance, 2-3 inch exit with massive internal damage on broadside shots. I have not been able to retrieve a bullet. This is with 6.5x284 at 2970 FPS, 140gr, on a dozen or so deer/antelope, about half shot between 500 and 1000 yards. These 2 rifles, being my long range rigs for +600 yard hunting, I have not tried VLD's in my other hunting rifles. I suspect that VLD's are no different than any bullet tried in a given rifle, some work out, some don't. [/QUOTE]
