    thanks, they are a good pill the corelokts, have seen them used to great effect on tahr despite being labelled "cheap and nasty" I accidently bought a box of 100 130gr VLDs a while back for my 270win (was supposed to have ordered 150gr) but I hung onto them hoping to do something with them one day so will see if I can get them going as a "spook and shoot" load, keep them in the mag, and the 150s in my pocket

    Those 130gr VLD's might be spook & splat at close ranges out of that WSM. Could be a tad explosive

    Crank them up and splat a few long range hares, be good practice for you and the new burner
