Thread: 168 Berger VLD

Have you shot similar situations with the eld range out of the SAUM? What sort of speeds were you punching these out?

These are going 2900 from 20” barrel. Haven’t used any ELD in the saum but shot plenty out of my old rem mag at similar speeds. My experience was they both just lead and copper that kill well. I had one questionable result with a 162 eldx but nothing questionable on the berger yet - haven’t shot as much with it so far though. @Kelton has done a bit with the 162 eldm in his saum on top of the bergers and now 180 eldm. All good things

It really was textbook that photo doesnt credit how well it mushroomed and yip iv had gppd results with the M have up on the X years ago after a bad run but probably nore badluck than anything as 100,000s of people are using them with exceptional results . I will not bergers consistency is unmatched by any hornady counterpart if you care about it i wouldnt weigh a batch of hornady they still shoot stunning so that just tells me weight sorting projectiles is a waste of time and worry
