[QUOTE="WRG, post: 333752, member: 13638"] For real good long range accuracy and decent expansion you may also want to consider the 140 gr Berger VLD hunting match. A lot of shooters swear by them as far as terminal performance is concerned. I don't have any first hand experience on how they perform on a game animal but know a few who have. In the accuracy department they really perform well at ranges over 200 yards depending on muzzle velocity as this is when this bullet tends to go to sleep. A very accurate bullet once you get them to fly straight but that is the tough part, getting them to be consistantly accurate. I have tested these a little and really need to spend more time with them. Seating depth off the lands is critical to fine tuning the load and can be time consuming but at least the price of the bullet is reasonable. I want to say, I think Berger suggests starting .030 off the lands and working it in, if I'm not mistaken and from what I understand a lot of rifles like it touching or just kissing. I never got that far but plan to resume testing after the hunting season has concluded. [/QUOTE]
