[QUOTE="Broz, post: 804089, member: 7503"] I have killed a boat load of elk , deer and other game with 210 VLD's and never tracked one. But the .696 BC brought me to the 215. When I seen the accuracy of the 215 in my rifle I was pretty excited. In my opinion the 215 will expand better due to it's much larger hollow point cavity up front. I look for this for my longest shots. The antelope I took at 1285 yards was a complete pass through and exit was about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" Every single 215 we put into game, (19 last season) had a .308 entrance hole. Some stopped at the off side ribs, these were shots under 500 or so. But shots on antelope and deer 300 or less still exited. It seemed after 650 yards they all exited with the same .308 entrance and a nice 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" exit. I encourage people to go to that thread and see the results for their selves. It is all documented with 19 kills, same season, same rifle. There is impact velocity, distance, shot placement and terminal damage. After reviewing that thread you can then decide if the bullets performance at many different distances, on many different animals, is what you seek. Jeff [/QUOTE]
