Anyone running Berger VLD 175s in a LTR?
I have some of the hunting VLDs coming, just curious if anyone has worked up good loads for them in a LTR?
FWIW: I use Lapua brass, CCI BR primers and Varget powder
current load is 44.5g, Sierra 165 GK BTSP, 2.80 COAL
This produces 1" 300 yard groups (farthest I have shot it) but now there is a 1000 yard range close by to work up and practice and my new lease for this year has some potentially long shots (not that I would shoot at game past what I can consistently place accurate shots with, be it 400 or 500 yards)
