[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1192554, member: 55410"] I don't think the VLD-Hunting expands so much as it is supposed to fragment violently, dumping energy. I may open this guy up this evening for a more thorough exam but what I know now is that he had a hole in his side with a diameter smaller than my index finger with a divergent trajectory. There was no apparent hydrostatic shock. [U][U][U][U][URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8j-7D-bubQ[/URL][/U][/U] [/U][/U]So the video says that the animal may not drop, but won't go far. Fair enough. Of course, I can't recall putting too many rounds through a hog like this that weren't Berger that didn't go very far either. They note that competitors' bullets are designed to go through the animal, but that is what I am seeing every time with Berger. With Hornady SST or Berger, no doubt there is fragmentation and loss of bullet weight, but they are performing very similarly as near as I can tell despite the fact that they are supposedly so different.[U][/U] [/QUOTE]
