[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1523760, member: 101677"] I burnt the barrel out of my 257 wby using 115gr ballistic tips and learning to shoot long range. The wby speed buys you pretty good performance even with the lower bc ballistic tip bullet, but the barrel life doesn’t really promote the practice necessary for long range. I found that the accuracy node was very similar between the 115 ballistic tips and 115vlds. I used 67.5 and 67grains of imr 7828 and mirrored the velocity with each bullet. The vld needs a seating depth test the ballistic tips can be seated at saami length. I’d check out the 92gr hammer hunters and compare ballistics to the 115s, out to 500yds speed gets a lot of performance. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
