[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 690926, member: 13632"] We've been taking game running the 6.5 140 Berger at just shy of 3200fps, awesome performance and wound channel have been very, very consistent through a variety of game and shot angles and we have yet to recover a bullet from point blank shooting to over 600 yards, not ultra long range but this year it' well be farther for sure. In the number of game animals we've taken with just that particular bullet we would have seen many different wound channels with a harder bullet, I see way more consistency coming from the VLD's and way better wound channels through the animal in more varying shots. Bergers don't just grenade like a Vmax unless you've done something to contribute to that like shooting a 7mm 140gr in a STW or RUM or shoot a way to aggressive twist that is pulling the jackets but then you would be better to shoot a harder bullet but what your doing is compensating for doing something that your rifle does not like, not shooting a better bullet!!!!
