Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Had no idea VLD's acted like this

I have used the Berger VLd on one deer and one antelope. The deer was the 6.5, 140gr from a 6.5-06 at 2900fps and the range was 35yds broadside shot . The bullet grenaded, deer died, no surprise.
The next was a 243, 115gr. from a 240 Wby at 3150fps. range was 300 yds. The bullet pencilled through the scapula and grenaded , ded goat.... the interesting part was the lack of bloodshot meat.
And it was really cool to see the bullet punch through bone before expanding, just like Mule Deer has been telling us.... I like these bullets!



Bullet hole by tip of knife...this is the backside of the scapula. This really increased my confidence in the Bergers
