I have a 6.5-47 shooting Berger VLD 130 hunting bullets. My question is will this bullet make it through the shoulder of an Axis to get to the vitals? It is devastating to a white tail just behind the shoulder.
Yep. I also shoot 110 Hammer Hunters out of mine and it is devastating.I have a 6.5-47 shooting Berger VLD 130 hunting bullets. My question is will this bullet make it through the shoulder of an Axis to get to the vitals? It is devastating to a white tail just behind the shoulder.
Maybe; the cartridge is plenty. My wife uses a 6.5x47 Lapua and 129 ABLR @ 2900fps and it devastating on axis, whitetail and blackbuck.I have a 6.5-47 shooting Berger VLD 130 hunting bullets.

Over rpms will cause bullet to come apart faster. Should retain all energy inside animal. Bang flop. Aim hi
That Berger don't come apart till 2 to 3 inch's in the animal as demonstrated by the deer I shot 2 weeks ago. Heart and lungs turned to jelly.Over rpms will cause bullet to come apart faster. Should retain all energy inside animal. Bang flop. Aim high
You can get bang flops with a pass through as well. By the time the bullets exits, it's done it's work. I don't buy into the "expend all energy in the animal". I want 2 holes leaking blood. Things don't always go perfect and in the brush where you can't see far, a blood trail is highly preferred.Over rpms will cause bullet to come apart faster. Should retain all energy inside animal.
