The VLD-X has sixteen more grains to work with.
Yes, but you don't usually see a 20+ % jump with an increase of only 16 grains.
Any experience with the 7mm 168 LRX?
I haven't tried them yet in my 280 AI. I did have my Pac Nor barrel made with a 1:8 twist, so I should be able to stabilize them. Hard to find anyone with experience loading them. I contacted Barns, and they did send me load data for the 280 Ack and 168 LRX. They are HUGE!
