Be sure to call me when you do the 40 hogs down beyond 500 yards.
The Berger VLD-Hunting seems to be a good killing bullet. It's performance seems to differ somewhat from the advertised claims, however. Of the 9 hogs recovered so far, the round over penetrated 8 of them, as much as 26" or so. The massive energy dump that is supposed to produced hydrostatic shock seems iffy, at best. As near as I can tell, the Berger do no better with hydrostatic shock than other bullets. It does have the potential to produce fairly amazing wound profiles, but if you are a meat hunter, it also has the potential to ruin a lot of meat that would not otherwise be ruined.
