[QUOTE="M Rosslee, post: 1171568, member: 94998"] Also, the Berger VLD and Lapua Scenar alike are fantastic target shooting projectiles and penetrate paper sufficiently. I have seen match bullets perform exceptionally well on game animals and I have seen catastrophic failures... So that makes the odds of optimal performance pretty bleak... And as soon as there is a bit of doubt - I just remove my thoughts from dwelling down a specific path. Reliable expanding projectiles for hunting and match bullets for match shooting at paper... There are many good hunting bullets with exceptional ballistic coefficients and forms - such as Hornady Interbonds ... (up to 300m) - further than that and we start dwelling along the thin line of ethical hunting distances and distinguishing animals and targets. The Berger VLD Hunting in my experience is an explosive hollow point which is great for head and neck shots but if you're going to be shooting for venison, is best left in the cupboard and its box.
