I use 45g of RL-15 with the 185 VLD in win brass. Very accurate load out of my 30" Krieger.

The 185gr Scenars might not be a true VLD secant ogive bullet, but they shoot well with between 42.0-42.5grs of VV-150 in RA-61 brass, 210Ms and slightly off the lands. Haven't tried them yet in my Winnie fodder.

Re: 185g VLD loads?

thanks

will try to work that backwards to the fill capacity for LC LR brass

how's the winchester brass holding up, in particular your primer pockets?

having to anneal and if so when?

what kind of grouping at 300 yard?

i shoot f/tr and that 5" X circle is mighty unforgiving

thanks again for posting
