Berger VLD and .25-06?
Planning my 2009 Wyoming MD hunt. Has anyone tried the Berger 115gr VLDs in their 25-06?
Thanks

Yes I tried it many years ago and it worked really well. I used a copious amount of RL-22 and seated it out to just kissing the lands. IT would shoot really well out further than I had business shooting.

I will again be working on some loads with it soon. I built a 25-06 AI and was hoping to use it as my LR load. I wished I could offer more in the way of load data but I cannot locate my notes.

I can tell you that the VLD will work on deer. Mine was from a 308, however.

The 115s are great deer bullets. I use them withe 53gr of IMR-7828 in my 25-06.
