[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 876442, member: 11717"] Judging by your MV it sounds like you are using a 300 RUM or larger 30 cal cartridge. Bergers are very frangible bullets and as such they will have a lower velocity ceiling of performance. Impact velocities of over 3000 fps have the potential for high explosive and low penetration performance, especially with the thinner J4 hunting jackets. I have a 300 RUM and I would not consider shooting anything smaller than the 215 hybrid (which has a thicker jacket) out of it and lean toward the 230. Rule of thumb for frangible bullets is go with the heaviest practical for cal for lower velocity greater mass on target. If you use those 190 hunting VLDs again at that velocity, expect the same results. [/QUOTE]
