When working up loads for my new at the time 26 Nosler, I noted their 140 VLDH load data topped out at 3,200 max.
I called Berger, talked to a tech. Told him I could push those 140’s faster than their max. He told me they didn’t recommend VLD Hunting bullets pushed beyond 3,200 fps, suggested I use their Target VLD’s.
I went with tougher bullets.

That's an option.
As the 140gr VLD is a legit 0 to 1000yd elk killer one wonders what could be better?
I'm settled in using the 140gr VLDH in my .260 and 6.5-.284. But mostly for antelope, deer, and cow elk. They work great for me.
For bull elk I take my .300 WM with 230gr Berger OTMs. They are hammers.
