[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1065530, member: 78569"] Thanks, I had read about the 0.07" and was wondering if you did the same. Makes me wonder about switching to the 285 grain A-max. Don't have to meplat trim or anneal to get expansion on that one. Probably not a good close range bullet but 285 grains of exploding copper and lead will do some serious damage to a target with a well placed shot. A friend of a friend shot a moose at 1300+ yards and pulled the 300 grain VLD bullet out of the heart. Didn't say much about expansion but got the impression that it didn't expand much. This created my curiosity in the "need" to modify the "larger" VLDs to get the most terminal performance out of them. Losing 5% on the BC of the 300 gr VLD takes it from 0.818 to 0.771 which is still higher than the A-max (0.720). [/QUOTE]
