Yes they do but they dont always work in a 1-8" twist, the 105gr VLD is a great bullet in this round and the 95gr VLD is pure magic in this cartridge.
Stay away from a 3 groove with this combo, a 5R or C works best


So would opt for the one in nine? What about barrel length?Regards, Rick.



Rick, I'd go 24" minimum, preferably 26 or longer if you don't mind the weight - but I prefer a bit of barrel weight for my stand-hunting guns. A 1-9 twist will handle most bullets up to 100grs, might do a 105 at AI velocity, just like a 1-8 might do a 115. If you are only shooting out to 350/400 max, you probably can get by with the 1-9....
