[QUOTE="PApa Black, post: 1561493, member: 48563"] I've been shooting 168 Hunting VLDs in my 308 for years and never a problem with expansion; but a friend was shooting 155 Hunting VLDs in a Browning bolt gun and had 3 pass throughs. Looked like the deer was shot with a target arrow, I contacted Berger and they said: check the tips for damage ( closure) from recoil in the magazine and that's what we found. These were hand loads and about .005" from touching the mag wall. I shortened the COAL by .030" and the problem was solved. I also shot those bullets in my Savage, which has a much wider mag and no problem. Berger also asked that I send back to 3 boxes of 155gr VLDs and they replaced them at o charge. [/QUOTE]
