[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1489560, member: 25760"] I have had interesting results with the Berger 140 VLD. Hit a deer at 563 yds with one from a 6.5-06 at 3004 fps. Blew up on the neck/shoulder junction. Used on Mon on an antelope at 246 yds. Caught the near side shoulder and blew up. Dead is dead but I'd like some penetration. It was suggested to me to try the hybrids as the jacket is supposed to be slightly thicker. Now these bullets are from 6 1/2 yrs ago so newer may work better. For this particular rifle they are way too "soft". Bruce [/QUOTE]
