[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 307691, member: 10178"] I have killed deer with 120 ballistic tips running 3000 fps from my 6.5X55 Swede and it is an awesome killer. But I just got a 264 Win Mag and am going to try the 130 Nosler accubonds this year at 3450 fps. The 120 ballistic tips are just moving too fast to use on deer under 300 or so yards, 3600 fps. You really need to keep the ballistic tips impact velocity under 3000 fps or they start to vaporize when they hit the hair. I have heard good things about the 130 Berger VLD. I have only shot one deer with a 155 gr VLD from my 30X47 HBR at 2650 fps at 107 yards. It blew a baseball size exit hole in the off side shoulder. [/QUOTE]
