[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1674521, member: 74670"] I use to shoot 180 grain Berger vld out of my 28 Nosler. However with Antelope size game I would get fist size or larger exit holes on broadside shots with a lot of damage to meat, even past hundred yards. The animals were definitely dead but I didn't like the huge hole. So the Berger vld are best on long-range shots with larger game. What I realized is that they started their major explosive expansion as they were leaving the antelope we're on an elk all that energy would have been absorbed inside the cavity. I did however switch over to the Hornady 175 ELD X and have not had that issue. Granted I have not had any shots less than a hundred yards but at 300 or more they perform flawlessly. [/QUOTE]
