Yep!!!!! All of the above!Berger Hunting VLDs
Worst bullet by far I ever used. Blow up close and don't penetrate, pencil through far. Extremely picky to get to shoot and had to be in the lands.
The Most DISSAPOINTING Bullet there ever was...

Not sure. This year we took 2 deer with the same 7mm rem mag with the 162 eldx. One at 300 and the other at 450. The bullet in the picture was from the 300 yard shot with a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps. Both deer required follow up shots.

Yeah they definitely got the job done but I like bang flops and the two most recent deer I witnessed didn't even act hit until I told the hunter to put one in the neck. These were big bodied mule deer bucks and the hunters used my loaner 7mm rem mag with a 162 eldx
Nosler Accubond.
My one kill with it, even though it went through both lungs, it took that Javelina over 20 minutes to die. Yes, animal wasn't lost, but it shouldn't take an animal 20+ minutes to bleed out.
There was a small hole going through the lungs, unlike the the SST, AMax, Ballistic Tip, Gamekings and Berger Classic Hunters that leave little to no lungs.

Should have more than enough fps to make the bullet work. Weird.

Interbond and e-tips could never get any of them to group for me

Definitely all bergers. Stir…
i really hate that bullet too because it never goes off when it supposed to!!Does a patched roundball in a flintlock count?
Id take a patched roundball out of a flintlock over a Hornady 190 Atip for huntingDoes a patched roundball in a flintlock count?

What ever my hunting buddy bill is shooting. Poor guy, no matter what rifle he's using, has freak performance problems. After losing 2 critters with good hits (one axis deer was missing a shoulder after his eld grenaded), he now request I "back him up". He said a guide on an elk hunt cursed him after he killed a nice 6x8, told him it would only get worse from there.
The one bullet I don't touch or own in my over 15k bullet collection is the Hornady SST. Had a few bad experiences with the 117 grain out of my 25-06 and sent them down the road. I didn't even save them for the coyotes for whatever reason. I have other Hornady bullets, eld-m, eld-x, interlock, interbond, etc but no SST's.
