The best 30 caliber bullet for 1000yd br at present

Rifleman3 is a 600 and 1000 yard shooter. Has pretty much the same equipment they All do. The Berger 210 VLD is pretty much the bullet that's winning. Will it shoot good in a 9 twist? Most use 10 and 11 twists. If you can't get it to win, you pretty need a new barrel. Matt

That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. For the record I have had three tubes on my 300wm that would not shoot that bullet. Just because 985 people all use this exact load does not mean they can on their next tube. Barrels are like women they are all different.

Lol. My autocomplete came up with different and difficult. Like it knows women.
 
Few things funnier,than a buncha gals with their panties in a wad.

Bless your hearts.
I assume after you win the 1000 yard nationals we will know who you are? Or are you like every other smart mouth keyboard cowboy and wont be able to make it? They'll be a "bunch of guys" there haha come take notes

Probably more to do with leade and freebore. Also the VLD is harder to get shooting. It
Loves it in the lands hard or way off. Never saw a WSM that wouldn't shoot them competitively. We shoot around .210 to .230 freebore for them. Also you need to move to 400 yards or more to test them, I prefer 1000. Matt
 
Duck hunt thanks for heads up on 210 vld I think it has potential it may not impress some but that 9twist 300 wsm 4groove impressed me granted it is only 4 shots I think it has potential.

What distance was that shot at?

Here's a couple pics of groups from my 300 WSM using the 210 VLD shot at 1K during testing.

After seeing these, I may never post another target here again. Nice shooting, James.


That 3 shot was a fluke as I call it. Sub 1" just isn't heard of at 1k much less something under .5"
In my rifle I'm averaging 2" for 5 shots. I've not done any 10 shot groups yet to know what it'll do on avg for a HG

They were all cut with the same reamer or from one made from the same print.
