[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 171185, member: 412"] As much as I don't like VLD's, I have no problem at all using A-max's and though I haven't loaded any yet, wouldn't have any confidence issue using an ELD-X either. The simple truth is that with the exception of Remington and Sako, no other factory chambered long action .473 bolt-face rifles leave a person with enough latitude to get a VLD INTO the lands. Now you MIGHT get a VLD to shoot well off the lands @ mag length, but the ability to ensure you get there is the only way to be fairly sure they're going to work. There isn't enough difference in BC in like-weight commonly available component bullets offered in .277 shot through factory 1:10 twist barrels that will for sure work @ mag length that any of them give a true ballistic advantage over their peers. Damned few can shoot well enough from field positions past even 150yds, let alone 400+ with a hunting rifle to say that BC makes or breaks them.
