Berger's VDL load testing

[jdboy]

I recently read Berger's article on VLD load testing and thought I'd give it a try. I started off touching the lands (2.950") and then subtracted .040" down to 2.830". Then I loaded the last group at the normal suggested OAL from a manual (2.800"). These are from once fired brass, prepped and neck sized, with 44.5gr of Varget. I started with the 2.950" groups, first group was high so I came down .4mil and fired the next groups at this dope. All groups were shot at 119 yards, have a look.

Every dog has a lucky day, lol!

They do shoot if you put the time in. I did the same with my 7 mag and found 2 nodes right fast.
