I've tried a few of the HSM factory loads and generally they shoot very well. In fact, a 168 VLD load was so accurate in my NULA .30-06 I used them for testing scopes.

But did run into accuracy problems with some .257 Roberts HSM ammo loaded with the 115 Hunting VLD. The rifle was a Cabela's Model 70 and shot fine with other loads, including the 115-grain Partitions I'd loaded up for another rifle, but didn't like the HSM ammo at all. My guess is the bullets were too far off the lands for that particular chamber, since the 115 VLD has shot fine in other .257's when handloaded, and also in two .25-06's.
