[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 290638, member: 9736"] I and my brother both have been shooting 300 win mags for several years. He has a Sendoro and I have a 700 with a Hart barrel. What we have found is that the 190 Berger VLD shoots exceptionally well but neither of us will shoot a critter under 400 yards with it due to the meat damage. It definitely drops them. We both are shooting 180 gr Accubonds for everything under 400 yards. His likes RE22 and mine seems to prefer H4831sc. We live in California and have shot several deer and hogs each with very good results using the accubonds for closer range. I shot a nice 3 point black tail a couple of years ago with an accubond at 383 yards. He was laying in his bed and it went in right above the bone in the rear leg, blew up the heart and exited the rib cage on the far side. The bullet was picture perfect expansion with 72% weight retension. I have shot several whitetail in Wisconsin with the same load and it doesn't make any bigger mess at 37 yards than it did at 383 yards. Just my opinions but from everthing I have read and seen this is a pretty good combination. [/QUOTE]
