Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Another Berger VLD failure !

Guy & magnumb,

Thanks.........that's a SE Idaho deer.

I happily load and hunt .30 cal 190 grain VLD's in the 300 WSM for elk.
I hunt the top of moutain clear cuts where shots are long
and think they are the perfect bullet tool for the job.

Until they prove me otherwise.

MontanaMan,

Beautiful buck!

I have also had some great results with Nosler Partitions at long range, including one of my biggest pronghorns taken at 430 yards with one 100-grain NP from a .257 Roberts. That buck stood spraddle-legged for a little bit after the hit, then wobbled 15 feet and went down.

Nosler Partitions are great bullets, and if I had to be limited to one expanding bullet for the rest of my life that would be my choice.

But there are other bullets out there that work quite well.

ditto!

Thanks, John.

Yeah, there's really a lot of good bullets around now........

I really like the AB for a high BC bullet & the Hornady IB has worked well when I've used it as have the TTSX & TSX........haven't had much success accuracy wise with the Scirroco, but will try other calibers/rifle with it.

I've also had good performance from the TBBC (older version), too Never used the Swift A-Frame myself, but never heard a bad thing about it either.

Hard to go wrong with any of the top tier bullets if used in an adequate caliber & the shot is decently placed.

"Failures" do happen with them all I suppose, but I've been lucky in that regard.

Good hunting to you & the wife.

MM: Great mule deer!

Indeed.........

1 of 2 things.
Ego or lack of stalking/hunting skills. No other reason.

Do you have your degree?

degrees? I have 2.

Another K-Mart shopper showing their ignorance here at the fire. People with small and limited experience judging others who have been there and done it twice and more.

As opposed to your hyperbolic intelligence, with which you can explain why someone would shoot at large game at the next zip code huh?
Ego and the need to prove their manhood.

As for experience. Believe me I have plenty.

Who has the big ego here?

It matches your big mouth.

Notice how these K-Mart shoppers that show up here to judge others when in fact they are judging themselves.




Because they can. They can do it better than you can within the zip code. Your ego just can't stand it.

"Beacause they can!" huh?

Wow! your argument is so compelling! Are you a lawyer? You are so articulate with words!

There are a lot of things we can but do not do because of many reasons. Such as having a consious or because it is not correct. Apparently you know nothing about that.

BTW, Just wondering....
Are you one of those heroes that stand over the elk you just killed with the big poster that reads "1234 yards!" and have your picture taken by your fans? You sound like one.

So what big city from back east are you from?

Does this mean we're not gonna find out the reason?

Rocky Mountains!

SU:Hey...watch that stuff!We ain't all ignorant back here!

LOL! don't worry Bob, I know!

This dude has trash talk from Boston or NYC.
He's NOT from the Rockies and we all know it.

You're a psychic now?

Man you are funny!
