[QUOTE="travelr47, post: 139062, member: 5339"] shortshooter, I'm currently experimenting with the Berger 168-gr VLD bullet (BC: .643) in my 280 Rem, M70, w/24" Pac-Nor barrel. I expect to achieve 2700-2800 fps MV. Know more in a couple of days when I get to the range and chronograph and test the loads for accuracy. I'm working with IMR 7828 & H 4831, RP cases, and Fed 210M primers. If I can't get there with the RP cases, I'll switch over to WW cases and see if that helps. This rifle already produces 2,800 fps MV with the Barnes' 160-gr TSX, so it should be close. Re the Berger VLD bullet and hunting. I've seen a number of different tests conducted with this bullet fired from magnum cartridges at short ranges into different mediums, including meat and bone. The Berger bullet holds together and provides excellent penetration. The accuracy is also excellent. It does NOT perform like a Sierra MatchKing when it hits a game animal. [/QUOTE]
