[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2941111, member: 105280"] I started loading Berger 168 VLDs for my custom 280ai last year because that is what it shot the best. Shot a muley buck behind the shoulder last year, dropped/died so fast that it had a quarter sized blood spot under the wound where it died in it's footprints. Killed a large bull elk at 430 yrds a few weeks ago. High lung hit and he dropped in his tracks. Killed a large muley buck a few weeks ago. Hit through shoulder blades. He slowly walked about 15 yds at the shot, then tipped over. The Bergers can be messy for sure. I advise staying off of major bone. In my limited experience with them, they kill quickly. My sweetheart bullet is the Nosler Accubond, but the Bergers nudged the NAB out on accuracy with this particular rifle. [/QUOTE]
