[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 2023051"] If it were me I would give the Hornady Eldx's a try or go to the Berger Hunter or Elite. on some of the Berger Classic Hunters you will find the B.C. is higher than the VLD's. I shot a few mule deer w/ 240 WBY MAG at distances of 100 yds to 240 yds w/ 105 gr. VLD Hunters, all shots were right through the boiler room and the deer traveled anywhere from 75 yds. to 200 yds before tipping over. I didn't find the devastating wound channel that some speak of - small entrance and exit wounds and I was unable to recover spent rounds. On the other hand I shot a Whitetail Buck with 185 gr. Classic Hunter out of a 300 Win Mag at 200 yds thru the lungs and he dropped like a rock. Wound channel was devastating, lungs were toast, small entrance wound, baseball size exit wound, didn't catch a rib on the way in or out. I was impressed with the performance, however I quit hunting with them due to the fact that grizzly population is now extremely high where I hunt. I went to 200 gr. Swift A Frames- too many close calls- gave up the high B.C. for penetration and weight retention. [/QUOTE]
