[QUOTE="BigSky112, post: 1758649, member: 57778"] In my experience, not all Berger's are created equally. I had good luck with a 190 VLD in a 30 cal. But issues I've had are with the 140 VLD in a 6.5. It destroys way too much of exactly what I harvest the animal for MEAT ! 3 times now I've had the 140 grenade and ruin some portion of the meat from tip to tail. All 3 kills were in the 600 yrd range. But the 130 gr 6.5 performs just like the 190's. My thoughts are it has to do with length, weight & caliber. It seems the jackets are not the same thickness on the 140's as the 130's or maybe tip design, I'm not a ballistics engineer but I can easily spot poor performance from one bullet to another.
