[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1394972, member: 4191"] What a difference 5yrs makes on this Forum with respect to member reports on Berger bullet performance. The multiple reports of inconsistent and unreliable performance of the VLD line of bullets in this thread is completely in line with my experiences before I spent $200 on meplat informing tools from Kevin Cram. Uniforming the meplats and counterboring the tips provided reliable expansion. But takes money and time. And the bullets are still meat shredders if they hit muscle. No fussing with the tipped ELD bullets. Similar terminal performance, yet more reliable expansion right out if the box. Which means they'll shred meat also with major muscle hits. But at least they'll expand reliably, and at lower impact velocity than required to get the VLD to expand. Now it's clear I'm not the only unlucky, unfortunate one with respect to VLD performance on game. I've stated more than once in the past that I must be the least unlucky guy on planet earth with VLD bullet performance. Now it's clear that my experiences with non-expanding bullets on one day, and plastic explosives packed bullets the next, are more common than not. I feel the storm clouds collecting... Firestorm and fury on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
