[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2330783, member: 10291"] I don’t believe Berger has discontinued the 140gr HVLD……I would certainly hope not. I have a different viewpoint on the VLD Berger’s. Using predominately 6.5 caliber bullets, this bullet design continues to be a go-to for medium sized game over the past 10+ years. Having tried the various offerings(Hybrid.OTM) from Berger, as well as other bullet brands, the Berger 140HVLD(hunting) and the no longer available JLK VLD(similar J4 construction), have given me very consistent, accuracy, ballistic performance and very good short-long range terminal performance on game when used my 6.5 rifles, They certainly shed their energy differently between 200 and 1200 yards, but are effective in dispatching game non-the-less, producing one shot kills with proper bullet placement. This has been evidenced with more then a few dozen game animals taken from 200-1200 yards. This is not to say that the VLD is superior to the Hybrid designs, but I certainly don’t believe it can be labeled inferior. IMO.
