Berger VLDs for .300 Weatherby Magnum
I have been wanting to try some Berger VLD hunting bullets for my .300 Weatherby Magnum. My rifle has a 1 in 12 twist, Berger recommeds a 1 in 10 twist for optimum performance. Not sure which bullet weight to try, 168 Gr. or the 185's ? Will be using them for deer and possibly elk. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

touchdown88I use 78.5 grn of RL 22. The velocity is right at 3050.
Touchdown,
Berger recommends a 1 in 12 (or slower) for all weights other than the 210gr VLD.
In the big case I'd go as heavy as I could; 190's for your 1:12.
I shoot the 210's in a 300WM often.
