[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 653314, member: 33915"] Big green, thanks for the extra info on the 165 Matrix Hunting VLD's. I did buy some 165's but thought maybe a bonded bullet, as are the 150's would be the safer bet on a bullet I've never hunted with. Also figured I'd work with the 150's first and see how that went. I have already loaded a few 150's to try in the 270 and WSM so I'll go ahead and load a few 165's also prior to going to the range both for the 270 Win and WSM and see how that goes. My one concern about the VLD bullet is with close range. Have you or any of your friends taken any Elk at close range with the 165 VLD's? Does it hold together well enough at close range velocities to do the job? Well, I best get working on those bullets. [/QUOTE]
