[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1409067, member: 87243"] In my .260 AI I'm shooting the 140 VLD's at 3070 fps, and they work great. Have killed animals from 200 yards on out to 925, and at 200 they are still going 2840 fps. If you hit bone at close range, they still exit, just with a bigger hole, in my experience on deer and pronghorn. In this video they are all with my .260 AI except the pronghorn that runs 75-100 yards and flops over, and the pronghorn along the river bank where you hear my 7 year old nephew in the background, those are with a 7mm rem mag and 180 Berger VLD's. On my bull elk you see in this video, it was 715 yards and just above center line right through the shoulder, hit the scapula on entrance side and just behind it on the exit, double lung hit, and the exit was silver dollar size, but the bullet was hanging in the hide in the exit hole. On another cow elk shot at 610 yards (not in the video) it was a heart shot, and the bullet left a silver dollar size exit, no bullet recovered. In the 20-25 animals I have shot or seen shot with my rifle, only one bullet has ever been recovered, and all of the animals went down like you see in this video.
