[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 158649, member: 10"] [b]Re: VLD\'s, ULD RBBT\'s, SMK\'s, etc[/b] SES50, If it were me personally with your 300 Win Mag and using a bullet in that weight class, and limiting shots to 600 yards, I would more then likely test out the 200 gr Accubond or a heavier jacketed Wildcat bullet in that weight range. The 210 VLD will certainly work well at any range past 200 yards. Even at close ranges it will work very well if you keep shots off heavy shoulder bones. Even in the event of a solid shoulder bone hit, more then likely, at the velocity you are at, you will get he job done, but the % of problems will increase with this bullet at close range on heavy game compared to say a 200 gr Accubond which is dramatically stouter and better suited for close range impacts. My opinion mainly comes from the fact that you will be limiting yourself to 600 yards. Out to that range, you will be very hard pressed to see much difference between the 200 gr Accubond and 210 gr VLD ballistically. Yes the VLD will have less wind drift but not by much and if the wind is blowing enough for that to be a real benefit, you probably should not be taking the shot anyway in those wind conditions. At 600 yards, the accubond will also expand more reliably then the VLD as well because of its tip. If you were talking about 1/2 mile shooting, I may go away from the accubond and look more at a heavier jacket version of the wildcat bullets. They would offer the BC of the VLD but with a stouter jacket so they would perform better at close range but still offer superior ballistic performance at long range. Again, if the accubond shot well, I would use that bullet. If it did not, I would use your VLD load and remember to avoid heavy shoulder bones at close range. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
