Thanks all for your personal experiences and opinions. I've had a good deal of success with TSX terminal performance in USA and Africa. No personal experience yet with VLDs on game. The VLDs shoot superb in my .300 WM and 7mm. I'm sitting on bulk quantities of VLDs. Slightly saddened to...

Appreciate your points. Given varying professional experiences it would seem that in todays world a tip or filler of some kind in the cavity would put the issue to bed.

Copy! I thought I had that in the VLDs - then the wounding / penciling issue rose its head.

Thanks for the website - great resource.

Thanks for the input.

Outstanding! Thanks for the feedback. If you put a brake on it - what type did you put on?

Does anyone have experience with the Tikka T3X (light)? Or any light 7mm Rem Mag... I'm simply trying to put together a light accurate rifle with a bit more reach than my tried and true .308 (without spending too much). Thinking of 7mm Rem Mag and having a brake installed on the Tikka...
