Berger 30 cal 185 gr VLD Hunting
The VLD's secant nose is what gives it the BC, and it's also why seating depth matters more here than on a hybrid. Berger's guidance is to start touching the lands and work back in .020" steps — most rifles find their window inside .120". On game it penetrates 2 to 3 inches before it starts to come apart, then dumps its energy inside the vitals.
Check your twist first. Berger specifies a 1:12" minimum for this bullet. Slower than that and you may still get groups, but you will not get the published BC — the bullet has to be fully asleep to fly to its numbers.
