[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2649455, member: 71221"] My experience with Berger VLDH bullets up until about 5 years ago when they sold was I got a pass through 99% of the time. My cartridges used were: [LIST] [*]308 Win - 175VLDH @ 2800fps MV [*]6.5-284 Norma - 140 VLDH @ 3070fps MV [*]257 Weatherby - 115 VLDH @ 3600fps MV [/LIST] Something changed on or around 2017-2018 time frame. Since then, I rarely get a pass through even with the mild 308 Win Velocity on small body Texas whitetail. No pass through doesn't work if you hunt where you can't see the animal fall. Even if the deer around here do fall DRT, the brush is so high you lose sight of them instantly. And of they do run, you have a very tough tracking job on your hands with no exit and a caliber size entry wound. [/QUOTE]
