[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2133137, member: 113003"] Well honestly I didn’t know if people were being sarcastic when they replied about using a different bullet. I haven’t shot many deer (any animal actually) with the VLD, but the few I have dropped and the damage wasn’t as severe as this last one. Most of my deer have been taken with a broad head....and a few with my muzzleloader. Ive always heard “better to lose a little meat than the whole animal”......but maybe that’s an outdated saying....?? I’m shooting the VLD in my .280ai because it was giving me the most accuracy and consistency. My other rifles have all been built by the same group (McWhorter)....and they chose it, although I could have asked for something different. I’d love to try the Hammers....the argument and real world results have me sold. My only issue is I don’t reload and I’m stocked up on VLD hand loads. If the shortage ever ends I plan on having some Hammers loaded up and see how they perform. I appreciate all the advice and comments....my only suggestion is don’t assume that “I get it” when saying one thing and meaning the opposite....I’m a simpleton newbie to this particular world. I am working on it though and know 1000% more today than 3 months ago. [/QUOTE]
