[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1782561, member: 26233"] The 215 is a fantastic game killing bullet with hundreds of example in this forum. All you have to do is use the search function to find more positive examples with that bullet than you'll want to ready. I have been using it exclusively in 2 300wm's since it came out several years ago for antelope, elk, and deer. Only one critter did I ever shoot more than once with this bullet. It was the bull in my avatar at 639 yards. Punched him through the crease behind the shoulder taking out both lungs and the top of the heart. He spun and ran 20 yards then stopped so I punched him again hitting 4 inches from the first shot and dropped him. It's actually better than the hunting VLD's for up close shots as it has a slightly thicker jacket and tends to hold together better. All that said, if you're hunting from 50 to 500 yards max there's really not much benefit for you to use a VLD bullet. You'd be better served using something like a standard Accubond, or similarly constructed bullet. 500 to 1,000 and beyond are where VLD bullets start to shine. [/QUOTE]
