Rick,

I've killed WT's with the 140 Berger VLD at 2,950 fps out of my 6.5-284, all DRT. Typically a very small entrance wound and some shrapnel coming out the other side. Lungs and heart torn up, but not turned to soup.

Going to the 26 Nosler and pushing these same bullets at much greater speed, sorta reminds me of going from the .243 to the .240. Bullets just act differently. Some that weren't too expansive in the .243 were way too explosive at 3,400 to 3,500 fps. out of the .240.

The 26 Nosler raises those same questions for me regarding bullet selection. I want bullets that do well way out there and don't make a mess at 100 yds.

Your thoughts appreciated.
