I would think about throating it shorter for the VLD.
As the throat wears, which may happen :), you'll have room to move the bullet out and even switch to a bullet with a more pronounced ogive.
Rick, How fast do those high performance .264 throats "grow" over time? DF

Wish I could really give you a good quantitative answer, but I don't count fired rounds. Just started to do it though.
With my .264 I'm sure there has been 400 to 500 rounds through it. Last time it was scoped we noticed the LACK of wear. Don't know what to attribute that to. I have always used really slow powders and the comment was made that this may be the reason.
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I've read that cut rifled barrels may last longer than button rifled barrels. Not sure about that. I have Brux and Krieger but due to availability, am going with a Shilen Match this time. The smith likes their service, which to me is a big plus.
We'll see how this plays out.

Go Bartlein if you can. They've been excellent.

The wait on Krieger, Brux and probably Bartlein is longer than Shilen. The Bartlein is $340, the Shilen SS Match is $285. My bud and I are doing a pair of 26's and he likes Shilen. So, I guess I'll hang in there with him.
Lots of thanks for all the help.
