[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 953397, member: 4191"] I have used the 210 VLDs again. I haven't used them at point blank range again, and avoid doing so. But I shot a larger black bear standing in the same location from the same spot, same rifle and bullet a spring or two later. Deja vu. That time my rifle was zeroed and the bear dropped in spectacular fashion - as shown in the Berger promotional videos. Instant lights out. This boar hit the ground so fast I barely saw any of it. A solid hit thru the rib cage. I don't mean to say the VLDs don't perform well. I think they're a better bullet down range after the velocity has slowed a bit. If you need to shoot a large animal up close at high velocity with the VLD, it would be best to stick it in the ribs on a broadside shot to help ensure the explosive expansion reaches, and destroys, the vitals in the boiler room. Which explains why I carry two loads/bullets when I hunt. Berger or another high BC bullet that shoots accurately in my rifle for long range application. Controlled-expansion bullets for just off the muzzle on out to 300-400 yd shots. [/QUOTE]
