[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 511615, member: 4191"] If you've read my posts, you either don't believe them, or you're indifferent to others' experiences with on-game VLD performance because???... of a video of a grizzly bear killed with a VLD? My two less than steller experiences have been with the 210 VLD from a .300 Win Mag. One Dall ram taken at ~ 355 yards: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f92/alaskan-dall-sheep-210-berger-vld-60791/[/url] One black bear - finishing shot taken at ~ 8 yards: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/berger-210-vld-black-bear-field-report-31392/[/url] I'm not claiming the first shot on the Dall ram at 355 yards was placed in the most lethal location possible. That's more or less irrelevant to my statement that the bullet didn't expand following a complete pass-through of the entire broadside thickness of this Dall ram. In other words, I'm claiming the bullet didn't open up. I've seen the damage from an expanded VLD inside of a number of game animals. And now I've seen the lack of physical damage from this unexpanded one on this ram. Had the bullet expanded like the majority of the VLDs do, the ram would have dropped at the shot. How do I know? I've seen any number of them drop with similar hits using Nosler ballistic tip bullets that expanded. What does 99.9% proper bullet performance mean after-the-fact based on my two negative experiences? Here's the math. [B](X-2)[/B] is the number of consecutive times I'd need to have the VLD perform as intended, to reach your 99.9% level of performance. (X-2)/X = 0.999 X=2000 (X-2) = [B]1,998[/B] If I obtain 1,998 proper performances with the VLDs going forward, I'd reach your 99.9% positive performance level. Ain't gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
