[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1005785, member: 81139"] This story just smacks of oddities that don't align well at least in my mind. I can see a shot at those ranges catching a twig and causing major deflection so that it slams sideways into the elk, but all the other follow-ups not having the desired result. Crazy. Were they using Vld hunting or target rounds? I've never had 1 Berger VLD hunting bullet not drop what I've shot dead in its tracks... Granted... This is my first season using them so perhaps I've just been lucky, but yotes and deer both have fallen and not made 1 inch from where they were hit. I've never seen anything perform as well as the Bergers in the last 35 years I've been hunting and until I have some crazy snafu like the op discussed... I won't be using anything else for deer or elk unless I run out and am unable to find more. For bear... I would however, likely go with a Nosler partition for deeper penetration... But I would think that a well-placed VLD should have done the trick. [/QUOTE]
