Thread: Who's running a 260 with 130 vld

@Gibo, didn't you have a sweet load for the 147 ELDs?

Nah had a sweet one for 143 eldx in the Sako I just moved on. Good news is the new 260 has no pressure at the same load weight while being seated in further. Have some 143 loads to try now but still want to try the 130s too.

130 berger shot sweet in my Forbes .44g of 2209 & 48.2 of r22 both tight not sure on speed ,trying to forget about speed when the groups are good.

The Berger 130gr VLD Hunting projectile shot great in my Sako 260Rem. I found they killed well on everything except small bodied game (small goats and hares, etc.) and occasionally they would pencil through if right up close. I had them over 3000fps out of a 26" barrel.

That rifle is now a full blown target rifle and so I have moved on to the 130gr Hybrids. Pretty sure I still have a box or two of the VLDs sitting at the reloading bench though.

Nice one Gillie,

If she likes them I may contact you about those bench cluterers

So @Gibo, ELD-X got the boot. Whats the bully on 130 VLD's ?

Elds did about 4" at best
Vlds far better so will develop them

Yes sorry for not saying so. They went great

Well I bought 300+ vlds so we'll see how we go.

This is the test group I am going to run with for now. Shes seated well in being in a mod 7...big jump just on half an inch so should be ok

@Gibo, how do the go velocity wise?

Using 45 of 2209 for a mere 2830 unvalidated at this stage mate. I am guilty of going to fast too soon in the past so trying the easy does it approach

Sounds good Gibo I am getting similar groups with 120 Amax and 45.5 I seated some 140's way out to where the bolt needs to be removed from the rifle so it will eject if the round isnt fired. I think I will go single shot on those puppies if they work out to be a good load. Was thinking they would be good at the Toby shoot, but I cant come.

Yeah il play with some single feed jobbies at a later date.
