Berger doesn't recommned their hunting VLD to be shot faster than 3,100 fps.
140 gr. VLD at 3K fps out of my 6.5-284 is deadly on chest shot Louisiana WT's.
I gave up on VLD's for my 26 Nosler after talking with a Berger tech. He suggested that I use their target VLD with its heavier jacket.
I subsequently chose mono's for that round and am happy with the results.

I guess I don't get berger tech comment did he say 3100fps at the muzzle or were the bullet impacted the animal bid difference. I have shot 3 bull elk and
3 deer from 150-786 yards with 140 hunting VLD's going 3200fps at the muzzle and no problem all just dropped dead.
