Berger 95 VLD .285", 105 VLD .379"
Hornady 105 Amax .429"
This info is from Bryan Litz's book (I highly recommend getting the book, very good info and a huge reference source for bullet information).

Thanks alot Benjamin, yeah I'll to get that book.

That 95gr vlds short surface really throws a kink in my decision. I measured a 95gr Matchking at around .375", I figured the vld would be close. WRONG

Thats shorter than the 58gr vmax I just measured.

Thanks

Dave
