[QUOTE="daniel brothers, post: 2041850, member: 23208"] WOW... [USER=4191]phorwath[/USER].... what an Awesome write up... WOW. Will have to read that a few times to allow all the information to soak in...LOL. VLD Pilot... That caliber and bullet combo could be wicked indeed. With my 22-243AI... I've run A LOT ballistic loads on different calibers and bullet size.... and have not found anything that equals or surpasses the small bullet drops and wind drifts as this caliber... some are close... which are more than adequate.... but not quit the same to me. I only built it for one purpose... long range coyotes or anything that gets in the way...LOL. It makes everything drop in it's tracks...even deer. It shoots 90 gr bergers very well also. At the same time, I also built a 20-250AI shooting 55 gr Bergers at 3770 fps... which is my real Baby. It tipped over it's first coyote @ 631 yds with the first shot in Nebraska a few years back.
