    7mm 180VLD

    My light Weight longish range hunting rig seams to love these... I have been stuffing around with the Amax's at mag length and the groups have been inconsistent.... A right pain in the ares as you think you have it sorted then boom and shit group.. Could be they like a certain amount fo fouling in my rifle?

    What are the 180VLD's like up close.. @ around 2800fps. and what speeds are they not going to open when out further? The Amax is better with wind and drop a small amount but consistency of the 180vld wins over all

    I got to 2750fps with Retumbo but ran out of case room and not much better with 2217 but V100 is at 2750 with absolutely no pressure signs and its not crushing the powder to seat to the mag..

    They have grouped well with all three powders I have tried with the ladders of around 4 gr (6-8 shots) spread doing around MOA and groups tests with nice clover leafs if I do my part
    Fishing ... Hunting its all good
