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....

My 1-9"tw Rock barrel stabilizes 105VLD's. I run them at 3200, but have ran them as slow as 3050 and even at that speed they shot great to 1000yds in freezing temps and only 900'ASL.

This was the frist 5 shots out of the rifle at 1000yds with the VLD's at only 3050. It's not centered up on target since I just had the projected comeups from JBM. Not to bad for just a 1" 3.5-10x40 leupold in TLW's.
