[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1255325, member: 5219"] I have posted this before, hope it isn't getting old: My friends and I use the 115 VLD in five 257 weatherbys and one 257 Roberts. It is getting harder to keep up with the number of animals taken and to my knowledge all one shot kills. One kill is firmly placed in my mind. A friend shot my 257 Weatherby at a coues wt at 400 yd broadside. He did a double lung shot. I saw a spray of blood come out of the entrance hole and watched the deer drop instantly. It never even twitched after the shot. As in most instances the bullet exited. Number of big game animals taken with this bullet: 19 coues wt 6 elk 4 mule deer 2 antelope 2 javelina I also use the 168 VLD in my 284 win vel 2835 fps. I shot a coues wt last year at 450 yds. Opened up nicely and exited. Nothing wrong with those VLDs. The 230 gr 30 cal match hybrid has shown itself to work well on elk, moose and Barbary sheep. Only my 6mm-284 varmint rig doesn't use Berger bullets..... [/QUOTE]
