We're now loading the 130 and 140 VLDs in Lapua 260 brass, and in the 6.5 Creeedmoor. These will be bolt gun loads only, loaded to 2.845 and 2.859 Cartridge OAL respectively.

I guess you will be using Hornady brass on the 6.5CM or resizing the Lapua (hey I can dream cant I)? What weight powder charge will you be loading with the 140VLDs and any plans on maybe loading hybrids in the future?

BTW, this is pretty AWESOME, Thanks

Any chance you can do the 260 load using the VLD "Hunting" vice the target bullet too?

What velocity are you guys shooting for with the 6.5CM load?

Has anybody tried any of these loaded up in Creedmoor ? If so what kind of results were you getting?

Thanks,

I meant to ask, what's the recommended twist for the 140 VLDs? Litz' stability numbers don't bode well even for an 8 twist, but every weapon is different.
