    @Plinky that sounds a bit like the recovered ones in an article I found on them. Mushroomed up to 900ms.
    I was interested to see if they would be worthwhile in a 264 win mag whenever that gets up and running.
    If they do what they show and do that up to 500m for me, I'll be very happy, Wont go through that many to worry if they are a little dearer

    Yep they certainly performed as advertised. I use vld hunters in my 300wsm here but am thinking of swapping. The tlr’s were just about as accurate and caused far less damage particularly on smaller stuff. Yes they cost a bit but not as much for a box as the fuel or takeaways for most trips.
    I’ve got a 6.5 build planned and want to try them for that too.

    I am hoping for a similar velocity from the 175's in my 300WSM. I guess I will have to wait till after the "lockdown" to test loads
