[QUOTE="budlight, post: 103913, member: 2939"] I like the Berger VLD's The price for their bullets is great. I also think that Barnes gets a bad rap on accuracy because of the bullet length VS twist rate. I look at it as apples and oranges. You have a hunting bullet and you have a highly accurate VLD. Use them for their intended use and don't worry that your hunting round groups open up. If your shoot the .277 get the 140 tsx bt. I've never recoved one while hunting - even taking out the neck verts on a large Muleys. The only problem with them is: they need to produce heavier BT bullets in each of the calibers. Like 150 or above in .277 175 gr and above on .284 and 200+gr in 30 cal. The wound channel is fantastic. Nothing in North America can take on my 405 Grain Barnes - X out of my 458 win mag. [url="http://www.barnesbullets.com/prodtsx.php"]http://www.barnesbullets.com/prodtsx.php[/url] Left to right .458 405 grain 99+% weight retention shot into soft dry fine sand at 200 yards. Chrono at 2480 fps with 26 inch barrel .277 169.5 grain Wildcat VLD .277 150 spbt with home moly coating .277 169.5 grain Wildcat VLD .277 140 grain Barnes into soft dry fine sand at 400 yards. chrono at a mild 3168 fps out of 270 AI 29 inch barrel. also a 99% retention weight.
