[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 921641, member: 5219"] I had one. Got up to 3085 fps with 180 Berger VLD and RL-25 with bullet firmly into rifling. Accuracy was best at 3055 fps Later the 1 in 7 twist 3 groove caused the VLDs to diverge from POI and much to my dismay at round count 236 while shooting at a coues wt!!! ( Lesson learned about too much twist with a 3 groove)I had to borrow another rifle to finish off the wounded animal. You can imagine how happy I was at that moment. Good old Murphy's law..... Switched to target VLDs which lasted another 75 rounds then THEY became damaged. Moly coated them and within 50 rounds THEY were damaged too! Finally moved to moly coated 150 E-tips, 140 and 160 accubonds and used them for a while till I got bored with the ho hum wind drift numbers and rebored/rerifled it to a 338 RCM. It was retired with 875 rounds through it and it still shot very accurately. moly coated 140 accubonds were very accurate velocity 3422 using RL-17 moly coated 150 E-tips also accurate velocity 3350 using RL-17 Also tried some moly coated 160 accubonds velocity 3320 using RL-25 Ross [/QUOTE]
