Default RE: Berger VLD's

ALthough I haven't used the 115 gr. .257 Berger VLD, the 168 gr. 7MM performed very well for me this year on an elk. High shoulder shot at 461 yards. Another guy I know used the 210 gr. .30 caliber Berger VLD in a .300 Ultra Mag with very good results. And another person (customer of mine) used the 105 gr. 6MM Berger out of 6MM-284 with good results on mule deer. So I'm thinking the .25 caliber version is probably going to be a good one as well.

The guy that made that "Best of the West - Beyond Belief" DVD uses the 168 gr. 7MM Berger VLD. A customer of mine got a chance to talkwith him about his choice of bullets; given all the great bullets out there specifically designed for hunting applications. His reponse was something to the effect that it was the only bullet that would expand at 900 yards on an antelope, and still not blow up at 30 yards on an elk. My single personal experience with this bullet was very good as well.
