I'm seriously considering after tons of reading running the 215 VLD vs the 230. First after looking at stuff over I can attain 3150fps in a 27" barrel with H1000 with 92.0 gr. I can hit 3050 with the 230gr but that's with RE33 still not convinced on how stable that is. It's 100 in the summer and -10 in the winter here. Tumbleweed was running a 32" barrel when he was shooting high velocities with a custom chamber. I think it'll be easier to get 3150 with the 215 rather than the other. Either way the 215 beats the 230gr in all catagories except for a slight loss in energy.
