[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1915070, member: 59541"] Valid question. First of all I want a high BC bullet for less drop, a heavier bullet for more energy on target and hoping the thicker jacket will help with reducing blowup at shorter ranges. Sometimes in PA the deer jump out right in front of you. I have heard many stories of the hunting bullets blowing up on shoulders without putting the animal down. While hunting in AZ it looks like this bullet should still be around 2000fps at 700 yards to help with expansion if needed. There is nothing wrong with the 140 VLD. I've used it for years in my 6.5-284. I did want to go with the 156 but my 8 twist just won't work in PA. [/QUOTE]
