[QUOTE="roadhunter, post: 379491, member: 13886"] I shot two bucks and a doe last year (a whitetail, a blacktail, & a doe antelope) with a 168gr from my 7mm Rem Mag at 3065fps. The blacktail was broadside at 65 yards. It was about a 175lb buck and I hit it high in the shoulder (probably a little too high) . The buck dropped in it's tracks flopped around a little and was drt by the time I walked up to it. After inspection of the would channel, I found the jacket hung up on the near side shoulder (weighed about 79grs). The remainder of the bullet pushed thru breaking the near side shoulder blade and fraging the top of the lungs and a little bit of the spine. I was a little disapointed in penetration but it was still a quick kill. The whitetail I shot at 25 yards quartering to me. The bullet broke the near side shoulder and made jello of the lungs. The jacket was resting under the skin on the off side behind the shoulder. I can honestly say he was dead before he hit the ground. I've never seen anything go down so hard and fast. The doe antelope I shot at 30 yards broadside behind the shoulder. She dropped in her tracks too. Bullet blew clean through breaking ribs on the way out. I've also taken a small black bear and an Antelope buck, both 200 yards with a 210gr in my 300RUM. They also dropped in their tracks. I believe the VLD's are great for anything up to Elk size game, especially if you don't like tracking! Hope the info helps. Doug [/QUOTE]
