[QUOTE="M_freeman, post: 536937, member: 19497"] I have the same question as the OP because I can't seat the VLD bullets near the lands in my 7-08 tikka T3 lite without losing case capacity. I will say the Tikka has a sweet trigger and smooth as butter action, nice an light as well. I would assume the 6.5 x55 would have the room for the VLDs because of the common use of the heavier bullets that the .260 does not use. Seating these VLD bullets is a pain in the .308 case because of mag length. I bet the same for the .308 case of the .260, I have read this numerous times on the forums that to seat the 140 VLD in the .260 it needs extra work. My 7-08 mag prohibits this as well. [/QUOTE]
