[QUOTE="LapuaMile, post: 597169, member: 30436"] I think my experiences earlier in this thread (few pages back) validate your findings on the lack of Berger VLD performance at close range. It makes perfect sense that the Berger VLD jacket construction on these bullets would enable them to perform exceedingly well at long range (lower velocities), yet not well at close range due to over-expansion and extreme fragmentation. I saw it this year on deer at 50 yards. One photo on my recovered deer illustrates the effect via the entrance wound, and the photos I don't have of 2 unrecovered deer speak to the rest...ha. Don't get me wrong... The Berger VLDs are my absolute favorite for long range steel shooting, and even long range hunting. Their quality of construction is unsurpassed. That said, if hunting within 200 yards I would definitely go with either a Barnes TSX or Nosler Accubond. [/QUOTE]
