[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 2333620, member: 93281"] What do you mean by “short barrel” and “long range?” I shoot VLD 180s myself at 2950 fps with 7mm RM. A short barrel (20” or 22”) a long action does not make sense. Yiu need at least 24” and more likely 26” of barrel to burn that powder and take advantage of the extra velocity. Sound like you need a 6.5 CM with a 20” or 22” barrel. You do not need to reload mine shoots factory 143 ELDX and makes one ragged hole with 5 rounds. [/QUOTE]
