[QUOTE="Nieko, post: 586856, member: 30724"] I ran 210 Bergers at 2760fps out of my WSM this year, one shot kill at 580 on a mature bull. A friend used my rifle for a one shot kill at 120yds and another friend used it at 440 for his bull, he shot it twice behind the shoulder 1-1/2 inch apart and it didn't go anywhere either. One shot would have done just fine but I told him to give it another because it stood there for a few seconds and I wasn't sure that he had hit it. Even at 2760 fps these little WSM's shine with the 210 VLD. I used 190's a few years back and they did fine but go with 210's they are better. This rifle(Rem 700 SPS) shot a 3 shot 3/4 inch group at 300 yds during pre season zero, so they are also super accurate. I am using H4831sc, cci mag primers, win brass, 5 thou off lands, coal is slightly less than 3" so it fits a Wyatts box in a rem 700 short. [/QUOTE]
