[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 939197, member: 12995"] Being that you have so much room to play around with 7mmRM loads, even up to the lands, in a 700 LA, I would get him to also give the Berger 168 VLD's a try. I used them this past hunting season on game for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. Prior to that, I used (and still have a bunch of them collecting dust) 160 Accubonds. The Accubonds worked perfect as well, but you can really tell when the deer get smacked with a Berger VLD. The energy it expells is rediculous. One of the 2 deer I shot was about 125-150 yards away, and it hit her so hard she flopped. Never took a step, never moved. O.U.T. The other deer was probably 175 yards away, and he only ran about 20 yards into the woods and crashed. I'm a quite proficient shot, and none of the deer I shot with Accubonds ran less than 50 yards. Granted, meat damage was minimal, and organ damage was extensive. So as far as functionability goes, the Accubond is an excellent bullet, and my 2nd choice. But they don't expell that hard-hitting energy the Berger VLD's do. The Berger has all the same good quality characteristics as the Accubond, but seems to hit harder. Which I like. I hate tracking and chasing game. [/QUOTE]
