BERGER 175 and 190 VLD's, Load Data

Anbody have any recommendations for the BERGER 175 and 190 VLD's?

28" 10twist Broughton barrel, looking for 600yd loads!

If you email Berger they will send you some data. You're going to have to provide more information though.

Just got off the phone with BERGER Bullets, below is what they recommended for my 308!

Now I just loaded some 175 VLD Bergers using the formulas below: I started with touching the lands with four rounds, then loaded four more .0010 off the lands, then four more .0020 off and up to .0050 off. I will let you know which works best. The person from Berger also wants to know the outcome! In my search's on this site, 43.0 grns of RE15 seemed to come up a lot for my 308 using 175 Berger VLD's. CCI primers.

Also, Lyman's reloading handbook is a great source for any loads. I refer to this book often.
