Dirtfarmer Campfire 'Bwana D Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 37,229 Likes: 9 Central Louisiana	Originally Posted by beretzs Originally Posted by MallardAddict The 180 VLD’s have been superb for me in several 7 mags and (3) 28 Noslers. Good killers MA? Not MA, but have killed deer with VLD's, mainly the 140 gr. Hunting VLD out of my 6.5-284 at 3K fps. I've not killed anything with the 7mm version, not yet at least. With the 6.5's, quick kills, multiple exits, so they obviously frag. If they're too frangible, Berger tech recommended the target version with it's slightly heavier jacket. I haven't done that. When I was working up loads for my 26 Nosler, Berger data had the top velocity at 3,100 fps. I called and said I could get a lot more speed with that bullet out of that round. I was told that they don't like to see their Hunting VLD at over 3,100 fps. That's when they suggested the Target VLD for faster speeds. I moved on to other bullets for the 26 Nosler. Read JB's New Zealand hunts, testing Berger bullets on game and how well they did. DF
