Match Kings do the trick nicely. We've been using them for years and they put a whallop on a deer at 700 and beyond.
I've been fiddling around with some 180 grain Bergers in my 7 RUM and I haven't found a "sweet" load yet. The Seiras shoot a tad under 1/4" at 100 yards and have proven themselves out to 750 on deer. I wanted to try the Berger's for their unreal BC in hopes to get a "better" long range round. Ok who really needs something better than what I have?? Just a point I guess and the want to fiddle a round a little bit.
As of right now I can get 150 Noslers to shoot sub 1/2 MOA, Match Kings to shoot under 1/4 at 100 and around 2" at 500 yards. The 180 Bergers....welp, no luck so far. I can't get them to shoot anything better than an 1.5" group at 100 yards!! This is the first bullet I've put down this gun's throat that hasn't obtained sub 1" groups. I worked up 12 different loads last night starting around 86 grains of retumbo and ending up at 91. Hopefully one of them will produce something better than what I've seen so far. If not...I'll just stick with the MK's. It could be an issue of the longer bullet just not stabalizing by the time it reaches 100 yards. I may have to step back to 200 or more to get the true results out of these Bergers. BTW, I'm testing Bergers for their super Ballistic Coeficent and the claim that they are an excellent game round. So far, I haven't seen a match bullet that didn't put a whallop on deer sized game. I'm sure Berger VLD is no different
They should work great out of your rig. I shoot Balistic tips out of my .22 caliber and she explodes on contact. The only bullet I've ever found to "fail" in my opinion were 165 gr Speer Grand Slams out of a 308 on deer. I just don't think our deer have the meat to make this bullet do what it was intended to do. Instead of expanding, they acted more like a FMJ and had little or no expansion resulting in not so perfect results. I initially had them loaded up for bear, but used them one season on deer. After I saw what the did on a couple deer, I pulled all the bullets and they still sit in the same box today
They are more of a heavy game bullet, so bad selection on my part. She's now loaded with 168 grain Balistic Silvertips....which work perfectly.
