130g hunting VLD? Yes it will down to the neighborhood of 1,800. If the impact velocity is less target the shoulder. If the impact velocity is greater than 1,500 it will expand to about 0.625" and leave about a 3/4" exit hole. It will shed around 30 grains of material, blow bone fragments through the vitals and generally do the trick with a very short tracking job, if any. I think most of the wounding is due to tumbling. When I didn't target the shoulder bone, I've never been able to recover the bullet (other than in a wet paper trap after 22" of penetration) and the exit wound isn't much more than 3/8" to 1/2".
If the impact velocity is much below 1,500 they tend to pencil through even if you hit bone and you have a long day of tracking ahead of you.
