[QUOTE="cwinner, post: 876215, member: 17315"] From what I could tell there was very little if any expansion.....it hit a rib on the exit so it broke it and tore it up but slightly. The second blew through the shoulder and pushing bone ect... It brought the bull down. We also had a guy shoot a bull with a 6.5 140VLD hunting out of a 6.5x284, which preformed better than the 230 OTM's so I'm not bashing Berger at all, only suggesting that they be used for their intended applications. I hear what your saying about the LR accuracy and BC. Of the 230's, it's a dilemma for me as we'll and why I tried them this year. We kill about 20-30 bulls a year and I provide rifles for some of those hunts so I get a chance to see what does and does not work.......my list of bullets not to use on elk also includes Hornady A-Maxes and Nosler BT's as we'll. Barnes TTSX and LRX are solid performers but can't match the BC's of Bergers VLD's. I'd buy Berger 230 hunting bullets! [/QUOTE]
