[QUOTE="Bigcat_hunter, post: 967363, member: 6955"] Do to the powder shortage I am running H50BMG in my 300 RUM pushing berger 210 vld's 2750 fps. I need to know what velocity or energy these bullets will reliable expand at. At 1000 yards I have 1246 ft-lbs of energy which I feel is just about maximum to kill an elk. I have killed elk at this level of energy with standard partition bullets. Never killed anything with a VLD though. I have done a search and got mixed opinions on what they will reliably expand on game at. Some say 1600 fps, some say 1800 fps. Does anyone here have some first hand experience with this bullet and performance on game? [/QUOTE]
