270 wsm and berger bullets???

I use the 140 gr Berger VLD's in my Tikka T3 lite .270 WSM. I've shot a handful of deer with them, one being at 340ish yards double lung shot, cal hole in, 3/4" out. Deer ran 60 yards and piled up.

Even connected on a doe at 35 yards, shoulder shot, lots of blood shot meat, 2 or 3 small shrapnel exit wounds, she went 15 yards, running dead on her feet then face planted.

I hope to get a deer with a bit farther shot with them this fall. With the previous performance I've experienced with them, I would not hesitate to use them out to 700 yards!gun)
 
It's good to see some discussion on the .270wsm. Haven't begun to load any yet but plan to. Like to see this thread keep going for a while
