[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 708899, member: 10291"] This has been my experience exactly with the Hunting VLD's from Berger. Surprisingly, I have seen similiar wound channels whether the shot was made at 50 yards, or 900 yards. I think sectional density plays a big role here.that very long skinny high BC bullet packs a lot of lead and velocity reserve. I have used a lot of the other bullets being discussed here and have had good results as long as you have enough retained velocity. My confidence in them starts to decrease as the range gets beyond 700 yards. I think these designs are optimized for mid range performance. A difference of .1 BC doesn't sound like much but it makes a big difference that even higher velocity has a hard time overcoming at the longer ranges. My 6,5x 284 starting at 2970 FPS catches up with my 270WSM loaded with 140-150 Accubonds loaded at 3150-3200 FPS at around 700 yards in terms of velocity, energy, and in my experience, killing effectiveness on game beyond that distance.
