[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 971985, member: 307"] I have used the Berger 115 VLD for deer and it is effective. Never had a deer that could hold it for long! As for the 110 gn NAB, I never used it on deer but did try a box once through the .25-06 Sendero I used to own. I was never impressed with the accuracy but I probably didn't give it enough time. Another bullet you may want to look at is the Barnes. I tried the TSX a few years ago in the same rifle and a 100gn TSX will penetrate from Arshole to appetite. I can only imagine the TTSX or LRX is more of a good thing. I have since gone to the 6.5-284Norma and use the 140gn A-Max and wow. Never had so many one shot kills in a season. Every deer I shot with this combo never took another step, although with the 115gn Berger they all did that "death run" thing (anywhere from 25-75yds). Either way they get to ride in the back of the truck :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
