[QUOTE="NW Hunter, post: 926900, member: 23024"] I got a bang flop on my deer last hunt with a Berger hunt VLD 190. It was a quartering away shot at 470 yards. The bullet fragmented lacing the heart, lungs and destroying 3 vertebrae up between the shoulder blades. Aim point was in line with the far side front leg middle body. Muzzle velocity was 3018fps. I have shot them into a dirt bank before and the Berger looked like a banana. I have read they open up with hydrostatic pressure, ie body fluids. I did have a particular batch of 190s that had badly formed hollowpoints. Broz has commented before that he inserts the end of a paper clip into the end of the hollow point to make sure it will open up in the body. Don't give up yet, they fly real nice to 1000 yards.
