[QUOTE="kyreloader, post: 228067, member: 12667"] John Barness wrote an article in Handloader magazine (I think) about using the VLD for hunting. He and Walt Berger and others went to New Zealand(sp) and shot feral goats. He also tested the bullets in the Bullet Test tube and found that in both situations, the bullets would penetrate 2-3 inches before any expansion and then would violently expand. Walt also shot a red stag with that bullet and although he hit it too far back(liver), the stag went right down with a 115g .257 Roberts if I remember correctly. I doubt you will have any trouble with the Berger VLD. That would be my choice. [/QUOTE]
