No news for me yet.... Those KY deer might have to get whacked with a 120 NBT or TSX......

Anyone else hear? Guess I didn't get the nod as no word ....would have thought they would want at least one guy to try them in a sling shot....

I have been notified that the bullets are being sent. Also know of two other shooters that have been notified that they will be receiving a box. Michelle at Berger was actually 2 days early in letting people know from the date they said.

Dober,
I knew there was a reason why I introduced myself to Michelle at SHOT this year. I heard from her and I will be testing the 140 VLD in my 7mm Remington Express (AKA .280 Rem).

I heard 1st of the week, I'm going to run them in a few of my 7RMs. I'll try a HB and a sporter rig for starters, both shoot sub 1/2MOA with Noslers so it will be interesting to see what the new 140 VLDs will do.
If they work out, I'm gona smack a 'lope with 'em in Sept for an on game report.
Ya'll have a good one,

No bullets at my house yet but I was selected as a testor. Mine will be ran through my .284 Win - hope they show up soon. I'm being asked to take off all of next week and don't have a thing to do.

Received this.... Thank you for offering to help test our new 7mm 140gr VLD bullets. We had an enormous response, and did not have enough bullets for everyone. I'm sorry, but we will have more tests in the future, and would be happy to include you. Keep an eye out on the forums. We will announce them as they become available. Thank you again, and have a great day!
Regards,

I got an identical email as well...
I have never used a Berger bullet before, and thought this may be a chance to see if I like them or not. Guess I'll stick to Barnes...
