[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2037539, member: 104363"] The caveat is, do not intentionally hit heavy bone with Berger VLD Hunting. They work best in the boiler room, neck, cranium or maybe scapula shots. All the heavy bone shoulder shots, would be best left to bonded or copper solids. Placement is critical on every bullet out there. Some need some bone or heavy cape initiation to expand, some blow up without bone initiation. Rib bones aren't heavy in my book but enough for the Berger VLD Hunting to initiate and exit. The 300 yard Antelope I shot in AZ, was a low chest shot into the lower lung lobes and top of heart. He circled once and dropped. The young bull elk (antlerless) with a 180 Berger VLD Hunting was a down angle, 125 yards into the left side neck/shoulder. Expected the exit behind off shoulder. It tracked right and fragged all the way back to the gut with out busting open entrails. He also did one circle and dropped. No exit. No heavy bone obstructing these either. You just need to be aware of bullet performance and I hope this helps out. Accuracy is widely accepted when you find your seating depth. My 40 yard deer was still flawless too, as mentioned before.
