[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1548755, member: 102560"] This hunting season I lost my first deer in a long time. It was with a vld hunting--130 out of a 6.5 Grendel. I have shot bergers a lot thesr last 8 years since I've been Shooting long range. Most of the animals I've killed with the bergers I say--"well it is dead--but boy bullet performance was not perfect". I usually find a shred of a jacket and maybe a little melted lead. It always worried me a little. Well long story short--e axis lived through the shot. The bullet broke up on the shoulder--and the deer had to be put down later (2 weeks) before he was found and put down. Berger's shoot good--I am not sold on there preformance any more. I will choose to shoot better bullets at game. Accubonds, LRX, hammer, even the ELD-x bullets look better than any VLD-hunting I've shot...now with that being said I still might use a 250 or a 300 grain EOL hunter out of my 338 Norma but most of the time that is overkill for a 150 lb whitetail, 300 lb Aoudad , or 220 lb axis.
