In 7mm(.284)pellets, fired from a 7RSaum I have read a lot about different bullets and their construction. Have talked to a few who said that even though the hunting version of Berger's VLD's only retain 40-60% of their weight they are lethal on Elk at long range. Does anyone here have any practical experience with these. They are made in 140gr, 168gr and 180gr, I would favor the 168's from a ballistics only comparison. Any practical advice?
