[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 286483, member: 4191"] I develop accubond loads for use out to ~ 400 yds. I develop Berger VLD loads for ranges from ~ 400 yds out to 1000 yds. Since my Berger VLD loads are intended for use at longer ranges where the utmost in accuracy is required, I spend a lot more time fine-tuning an accurate VLD load compared to the amount of time investing working up the accubond loads. I load and carry cartridges with both of these bullets for both my 300 Win Mag and for two different 7mm Rem Mags. The accubond is a much stouter bullet and used for the closer, higher velocity impacts. It's a controlled mushrooming bullet that kills well with less meat damage on the closer shots. The VLD isn't a bonded core bullet like the accubonds. It has a very thin jacket, and it typically comes unglued after a couple inches of penetration, shredding everything in its path. So at longer ranges where bullet velocity has slowed down, I find the high BC VLDs to be preferable to the accubonds - provided I find a very accurate VLD load. Both bullets have a good track record for being very accurate. [/QUOTE]
