[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1229527, member: 14435"] I don't have a pile of info as I have only gotten one deer with my 26 and it was at 14 yards, but my one recomendation is at under 300-350 yards go with a ttsx/lrx or similar. I have shot several (50ish) bullets into my test box at ranges from 100 to 500 yards and the results from thhe berger vld and even the lrab were not that promising up close. I use a rubbermade bin full of soaked shredded paper, which may not mean anything in the real world, but it is consistent and a way to compare bullets to each other. The vld's perform well once past around 350 yards, at 100 they make a 3-5" deep "wound channel" and all thats left is small schrapnel. The LRAB seemed to hold together over 150 yards, under that I was finding a shallow wound channel and just a tiny base of a bullet maybe 1/8" thick, no shank and basically no lead. Both bullets performed as expected once past that, at 500 they both gave the wound channels you would expect from them. The 120ttsx at 100 lost its pedals, but made it through 18" of the bin and out the back. At 200 they seemed to hold together and give the expected moderate dia wound channel and deep penetration.
