With so many other bullets better suited for hunting, why?
Your conclusion precedes any evidence? Pretty tough to learn that way.
I suppose a lot of people would say the Berger VLD is unsuited for hunting, but supposedly they kill deer pretty well. That fact, the fact I can currently get Nosler C.C. cheaper than any other decent bullet, at 1/4 the price of bullets I generally use for hunting, and have 1,000 of them sitting the table in frot of me makes the question worth asking. Some of the most interesting things I've learned in life were the times I've tried things that "wouldn't work".
Anyway, I really don't want this thread to turn into a series of lectures on what should or shouldn't be done. I'd just like to know what has or hasn't been done, and if it has, what the results were.
