That's a really nice gun, beautiful wood.
Back when I was shooting a .257 Wby, The 115 gr. VLD over 71.2 gr. RL-25 shot half inch groups.
Since then, I've abandoned VLD's at uber velocity. Working with my 26 Nosler, I was told by a Berger tech that they don't recommend Hunting VLD's to be shot over 3,100 fps. Well, neither the .257 Wby or the 26 Nos should be limited to those velocities, so I swapped to bullets that will hold up.
Agree with the TTSX for those kinda rifles.
