[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1315244, member: 10291"] I have shot quite a few mule deer, whitetails, and antelope between 50 and 200 yards with 140 VLD's(Berger hunting VLD's and JLK's) running at 3000FPS in my 6.5x284. Just about all have been chest and shoulder shots at various angles, and most dropped where they stood. While the bullets tend to separate from the core, I have not had any issues with penetration many times experiencing complete pass throughs, always with major internal damage. The high sectional density of the 140 seems to play a major role in the wide latitude in terminal performance from 50-1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
