I was just wanting to hear some opinions on the Berger VLD vs. the Accubond for hunting (deer and elk).
I know without a doubt, the accubond will kill very effectivley at all distances with 1000 ft/lbs energy..... but what makes me want to shoot the Berger VLD is the Ballistic Coefficient of .556 vs the .507 Accubond. I am hesitent to shoot The VLD becuase of some stories I have heard involving the bullet exploding at close range (under 400 yds) resulting in lots of wounded animals. I just wanted to hear some opinions, horror stories, etc, etc. Just no hearsay, first hand hunting experiences please.
I will be shooting a .300 R.U.M. at 3200 FPS and will look to be shooting up to a 1000 yds.
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME!!gun)
