[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 212917, member: 5418"] I use the 210 VLD's in a 300 WM. - around 2870 fps. I've taken several large Gemsbuck bulls - virtually nothing in 30 cal (other than monlithics) exits them anyway, but I've had VERY quick and satisfying results. Smaller animals I have had some exits. Generally anything through the shoulders on larger game there are none - through the ribs you may get exits. I shot an Eland Bull (+/- 1000lbs) wounded by another hunter in the shoulder at about 10 yards. Eland are notoriously heavy in the shoulders (almost like a back to front buck!), anyhow, he was dead in seconds. I don't recommend them for that, but it worked. I take broadside or quartering towards shots only so as to get into the chest cavity quickly. The Berger bumpf says the sharp nose results in 2-3 inches of pepentration and then "BOOM". It works well for me. Not saying you are wrong or on the wrong track here, just sharing my experience. Wouldn't use them in thick bush where I may need a bunch of penetration prior to reaching the vitals. [/QUOTE]
