[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 576193, member: 1007"] I have heard mixed reviews. A common review seems to be that they need a certain amount of velocity to open. Kind of like any other hunting bullet, the difference is with really high impacts, they are conciderably more explosive than other hunting bullets. For your high speed mags, that could be a problem up close but it would also depend on the target. Coues deer or moose? After seeing what the 338/300 did to a large moose up close, I dont know that I would want a high velocity 190 VLD hitting a moose. A coues buck yes, a moose no. The 230 grainer may be different. Time will tell. At least with the 338/300 there was enough material to be effective. That said, if it found the shoulder bone or such it could have been ugly. Real ugly. Fortunately they both hit ribs and lung. Another option may be to use a less commercially available bullet (if the goal is to move towards high BC bullets) to achieve a high BC bullet and also have the construction to hold together with high velocity impacts. Examples might be GS custom bullets or Cutting Edge bullets. They are expensive and not mainstream but your products fit in the same catagory. I have not used either so take it with a grain of salt. Some models look good though. Just an idea.... It's a tough buisness I know! M [/QUOTE]
