[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2753241, member: 124418"] Everyone may have different results from different bullets on different animals. I had a very bad experience with a mature Trans-Pecos mule deer inside of 100 yds (obviously high velocity), hit squarely in the shoulder from a 7 mag. Admittedly not a perfect shot from a high rack truck as he was trotting behind a doe, intended POI was high shoulder, but hit well none the less. Long story but the bullet never entered the chest cavity, totally exploded on the exterior of the shoulder blade. He was harvested after a follow up, but I choose to not have to follow up on squarely hit animals. So I choose to not use them. Obviously something drove you to use the solids in the Hammers. I use them as well, they don't explode on the shoulder blade. Once you find the node (hopefully it doesn't change) with the VLDs, they will definitely shoot but IME and is commonly known, they are very particular on components/dimensions to find that node. Glad you found yours. [/QUOTE]
