[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 221966, member: 4191"] Only shot one animal with a VLD so far, and at a very close range. Black bear at less than 10 yards. Quite a bit of bullet destruction. The 210 VLD bullet completely shrapnelled within the first 12" of penetration. The bullet never exited and I never found any portion of the bullet or jacket large enough to weigh on my powder scale. Killed the bear pronto. Others have been satisfied with the VLD bullet and report complete penetration when impact velocity has been lowered due to longer range hits. I still wouldn't aim for the front shoulders based on what I saw. Stick it behind the shoulders through the ribs and lungs. [/QUOTE]
