My Sendero 7rm loves Amax but had bad performance with them in 300win on whitetail. I have two great loads worked up with vld targets. Will load development start over again with vld hunting in anyone else's experience?

My experience with 7mm , 300 Berger VLDs of the same weight, the target and hunting VLDs shoot the same. The jacket thickness is slight and point of impact is not effected. I also have found this true with the 300 gr 338 Hybrids in OTM's and Elite Hunters.

My experiences with both are the same as Jeff's. They shot the same for me, as well.
Thanks I've tried 4 different powders with 154gr interbond with miserably horrible results .so today I ordered 168 vld hunting.
why the F would 4 different bullets drive tacks and interbonds fail so badly in the same barrel?

Great shooting! Just for comparison's sake, i am running the 162 amax in my 26" barreled 284 win with 52.8 grains of H4350 at what i believe to be around 2860 fps (52.2 grains went 2835 as verified by an Oehler and magnetospeed). This will be my 1k deer rifle, and i have no problems slipping one into the ribs of a deer at close range.
Barnsuser. I was running 178gr amaxs at 3075fps at my 500yrd field. The buck comes out at 90yrds. The shot stunned him and he had to get 2nd shot . It appeared that the first bullet ice pickd him straight through but the second liquified his entire cavity.
