I've shot one Whitetail, several pigs and two Bobcats with VLDs from a .308, a .257 Wby and a .260. They put animals down right now. They will penetrate shoulders, but there is no need to go there. Just put the bullet behind the shoulder in the heart/lung region and you will still get amazingly quick kills and not ruin good shoulder meat. I like them a bunch.

John

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
