[QUOTE="Carman2012, post: 1212272, member: 96567"] I too have been very pleased with the 168 vlds performance and admit that I have never ever seen internal damage like they do turns their insides to jello. First coup;e of yrs I used them my experience with them were very much like you describe on the big does. This past season though I had terrible luck with them and had some hard tracking in clear cuts on some does due to no blood and pencil exits but after reading about the tips being closed on some of them and checking mine out pretty much think my problem is figured out. Also if you dont mind me asking what is the OAL of your load? The reason I ask is my newest rifle I am working loads for is a rem 700 bdl with 26" barrel. I know all rifles are different but my oal with the 168 vld is 3.475. My other 7 is a ruger m77 mkll and oal I run them at is 3.430. I know measuring them from the tip isnt very good method but only way I have at this time. Plan on purchasing a comparator to measure from ogive in the near future. Just kind of wondering what oal your at to get .009 off the lands. Thanks [/QUOTE]
