I just got a sample of Berger 70gr HPBT VLD bullets. Anyone here ever shoot this bullet?
I am going to give them a try in my Savage 10PC.

I have nevr tried VLDs, but everything I have read said they like being jammed into the lands. Watch your pressures.

Jamming a bullet into the lands is NEVER good.

Uh, no. I shoot almost exclusivly Bergers for hunting. I don't jam them into the lands at all. They are close to the lands, but not jammed. There isn't a finer long range hunting bullet readily available then their VLDs.
I have used the 70 grain, and like them. I still prefer the 77 gr SMKs though in my AR. Seem to shoot a bit better. My buddy uses the 70 gr Berger exclusively in his 22-250 AI.

Shoot almost exclusively, 77gr SMK's and 77gr Bergers out of my RRA HBAR 1/8, JMZ.
I've also used 80gr, no problems.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
