[QUOTE="jshepherd61, post: 1560974, member: 93960"] I have experienced many issues with the Berger VLD! First let’s start with the limitation on the bullit it’s self. All my hunting rifles a built around accuracy and velocity, I push 3,352 with a 168 in my 7 STW and 3,423 with my 26 Nosler with 140’s using ABLR’s. The Berger VLD’s were decentigrating 20 yds from the barrel. Berger told me to anneal them if pushing them over 3,200. We’ll thats a non-starter. No Time! Second the Berger 140’s were quartering antelope at 200 yds with a clean shot if it even nicked a rib bone, could find shrapnel all through the animal. I’ll stay with the ABLR’s stay together at any velocity and better accuracy! As for the ELD’s great bullit but at those velocities I’m good for two shots then have to use sweets to remove half the copper the bullit was made of so you have to dumb them down also! [/QUOTE]
