[QUOTE="raven1776, post: 714713, member: 31474"] I shoot the 210g vld's in a 300 RUM. I shot a small mule deer buck this year at about 200 yards. Admittedly, I was not very comfortable with the gun yet as I had just purchased it within the last month. My first shot was about a foot back. This bullet did not punch all the way through the deer. 86 g worth of bullet was stuck under the fur on the opposite side. My second shot hit just in front of the right shoulder and exited through the opposite shoulder leaving a grapefruit size hole. (Not proud of my shooting shooting)!! Either way, the deer did not walk 10 yards after the first shot and died immediately after the second. Took about 1 minute between shots. I am running 96.6g Retumbo powder at about 2950fps. I think they perform just fine. I will repost results after elk season and, I hopefully get an elk. [/QUOTE]
