[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1142361, member: 52437"] The rifle in question would be a 7mm08 shooting 140grain VLDs. Estimated velocity would be between 2700-2900 fps. Right now getting 2750 fps with the accubonds with no signs of pressure so could push a bit faster but accuracy is decent. Was hoping for more accuracy so was going to test a different bullet and thought of the VLDs because I do like the idea of full energy dump. All this being said, it is my wife's rifle and if she hit a shoulder bone quartering too shot on a NY whitetail buck (they weigh about 200-230 average on the hoof) and it simply did not kill the deer, id feel terrible. She is an excellent shot and would wait for a broadside shot but if the only shot is a higher shoulder shot into lungs, will the 140 VLD from her 7mm08 do it? [/QUOTE]
