[QUOTE="Riverscout, post: 718649, member: 57439"] This year I really started getting into the accuracy game. I bought myself a 6.5x284 Norma and loaded rounds with Berger bullets. This combination has proved 1/2 moa at every distance I have fired them. Yesterday I shot a 200 lb 4x4 whitetail buck with the berger hunting vld. It was a 70 yard shot from a 30 degree angle. The buck was in the bottom of a deep coulee. The deer dropped instantly! Once I got down there I examined the shot. The entrance wound was softball size with no exit. Like I said I am new to using the vids, is this normal? There was no exit wound. When gutting the deer I found that the heart was detached from fragmentation which is why it died so quickly. The lungs were full of shrapnel as well. I would say that the bullet did its job. It's not what I am used to, so I am just looking for clarification. Is this what always happens. I was expecting a small entrance wound not a softball sized entrance wound. I am happy with the result, no meat damage, dead animal. [/QUOTE]
