Default RE: What should I do??

You may find that the VLDs are just to long. Or, you may find another OAL sweet spot much shorter than recommended . Barnes did a little test on OAL. accuracy and pressure. They found that there is usually more than one OAL sweet spot. One rather long and one rather short.

I would start with the longest your mag will allow and work back looking for that second sweet spot. If you can't find it then I would switch bullets or modify the rifle. In that order.
