6.5 twist, not at all finicky in my guns. Even with a 7 twist where they were slightly unstable they shot at MOA basically with the first loads ever tested and I was totally in the dark load wise with N500 powders.
They did shoot best engaged and thats not always the case with all bullets and you have to chase rifling as the rifle ages but thats all pretty common.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Thanks....I have an 8 twist so the 90's are a no go, but I may try the 80's!

Where to go from here... Starting in upper left and going clockwise, these are four shot groups with the 70 VLD following the VLD seating depth instructions. All are with Varget, Fed primers and Lapua brass. Nothing spectacular. This is a light weight rifle, no I'm not sitting around letting barrel go completely cold between shots. Might play with group on upper right as I think the flyer was on me. Thoughts from those who have used VLD bullets?

With that, I'd say you'd be lucky to hit a 4x8' sheet of plywood @ 1000 yards.

I would try to get my hands on some 75 Amax's. If you have bullets to trade for them, post an offer on the "Bullet Exchange" thread on the Reloading Forum. OOOps, sorry just saw your post on the Amax's. If you have a quantity you want to get rid of, let me know.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
