[QUOTE="ka30270, post: 1366855, member: 10067"] I finally got around to trying the 175 Berger VLD out of my 308 Win. The load I settled on was printing groups in the .3's at 100 yards and strolling across the chrono at 2850 fps! Yesterday evening I shot a nice NC 9 point and a good size doe at 225 yards. Both deer ran and the buck ran over 100 yards and took over an hour to find. Both deer had good shot placement but both had .308 caliber exit holes. Neither left a blood trail that I could find, the only blood was where each deer had fallen and their wasn't a cup of blood there. I do have the orange box labeled "hunting". Any ideas? did I get the thicker jacketed bullets in the wrong box? I switched from Barnes TSX and I am not accustomed to having problems finding deer, I was expecting the bang - flop effect. Thanks [/QUOTE]
