Those speeds sound ideal. I will give it a try.

Thanks,

If you can find some. Go LRAB. Or fool us all and go 220 CLRN. For the win.

Travis,

You shooting steel, fur, or both?

The 215 Burgers seem like a tough bullet. Although they shot well in junior's rifle, he hasn't killed anything with them. Haven't seen many firsthand reports either, except that the tips bent at ~1900 fps in water. Sub-loads will have lower rotation than HV loads too.

Early reports have the LRAB's expanding pretty easy, the 190 or 210 could be just the ticket if ungulates are on the menu...

I have no doubt that is a good bullet.

But I wouldn't mind trying something with a little more BC.

The Scenars have been a little less finicky to get to group well than the VLDs. VLDs can be made to shoot as well but takes a little more work. So, on steel, I kinda prefer the Scenars.

On critters, I have not found ANYTHING that makes an animal take fewer steps than the VLDs.. Even with poorly placed shots. Not advocating that, but on pigs, I put a bullet in whatever part is exposed�

I've only shot two critters with the 155gr Scenars, pictured below. The pig went 100 yards or so after a good hit through the heart/lungs. Bullet exited. She was probably just under 200 pounds. Coyote was DRT at 165 yards. Right now, I'd say I prefer the VLDs on critters, but I'm gonna continue to use the Scenars to get a better feel for their performance.

Free if I had some. Maybe throw in a $20 so I feel like I lost something.
