[QUOTE="ricknolan, post: 250070, member: 9824"] [SIZE=2]I am shooting a 25-06 AI with a Berger VLD 115 grain bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3375 fps. Using this gun/load this year I had a antelope (316 yard) and a pig (255 yards) both take dirt naps, neither hearing the rifle report.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]My question is, what is the closest range the VLD will achieve desired results on a 130 to 160 pound whitetail?[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]With one weekend left to hunt I plan to hunt an area that will have a maximum shot of about 125 yards and they could be as close as 30 yards. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Given these relative short ranges will a VLD moving at 3300+ fps do its job?[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Or should I carry the 270 with Barnes tipped bullet?[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Thanks[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
