[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1274152, member: 73479"] Took our 11 year old Grandson out this year on a mentored elk hunt. Loaned him a 6.5-06 ai loaded with the berger 140 vld. Found a small herd of elk and got on their tracks. Caught up with them and got him set up on a cow at 200 yards. He shot her right behind the shoulders about mid body. She stumbled and went out of site. We didn't wait (probably should have). When we approached the last area we seen her, she got up and we had to track her for a 100 yards or so. She was down again and had him put another in the rib cage. That stopped her for good. We did the gutless method so didn't locate either bullet. Neither went clear throw her. First at 200 yards hit a rib causing a fair amout of damage and blood shot. Penetrated enough to cause a fair amount of bleeding. Second shot at 50 yards made a pencil hole in her side and she just dropped head and that as it. Don't know if that helps you or not but that is our experience with the 140 vld. [/QUOTE]
