[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 511643, member: 23746"] So at the end of the day everyone has their favorite bullets. Some have seen Noslers fail, some have seen Barnes fail, some have seen VLD's fail, and some have shot bears in the Butt. So whos' to say who's right, which I have posted in an earlier thread. Please by all means shoot what you wish. I would prefer if people did not shoot the VLD bullets because with no demand for such a crappy bullet, the price would go back down to where it was before the craze started. Sorry Swampy and Mr Stecker, just me being selfish for a moment.. I haven't seen the failures. LTLR have you personally witnessed " a high rate of failures" on big bulls? I don't think the 7mm 168's are a by gone fad, I believe that Berger is still cranking them out at a rapid rate. I personally have only killed one critter with a 7mm 168 and that was a Buffalo in Jackson in 2007. It worked good. Most of my VLD experiences are with 6.5 140's and 6mm 105's and in MY experiences they work very well. So this debate if we work real hard could last as long as the Ford Vs Chevy one, which by the way Chevy's are way better :). I think I am done with this one, the adrealine rush is over, and if it wasn't for the everlasting pouring rain I would be doing something constructive.
