| I purchased some .308 dia Berger 210gr VLD match/hunting bullets, wanting to try them on moose. I worked up loads for my 30-06 and these bullets acted exactly as advertised. Tiny entrance wound, followed by shallow (16"), but massive wound channel that blew through everything in it's way, including heavy leg and brisket bones. These bullets are far any away the most devastating bullet I've yet tried, but there is one caveat. Any bullet not placed directly into the vitals will cause extensive meat damage. Due to the bone-smashing power of these bullets, and their massive tissue damage, I find myself also thinkig of them as top notch bear defense bullets as well. |

| Well I bought some with some hesitation 9 months or so ago. I had seen the video and I swear those animals are ALL spine shot. I was looking for an other option to the Nosler Ballistic tips so ... I gave them a shot. Well I watched in utter amazement as my daughter dropped a Whitetail doe dead in it's tracks. That thing was shot behind the leading shoulder and exitted out the far shoulder. There was a laser sharp hole in approx. 3 inches but what followed was utter devestation. That doe didn't kick / thrash or anything. I surgically examined that animal and I can clearly verify there was no spine involment or impact fractures to the spine. The bullet did "Totally" destroy the far shoulder/front leg. There was no less than 6 fractures of the combined upper and lower leg. SOOOO ... if you want a bullet that will kill immediately with devestation then this is your bullet. If you want to eat up to the bullet hole go buy Barnes TSX's. |

| I've used Begers ranging from .22 cal up to .30 210 VLDs. Honestly they all shoot superb. These bullets are second-to-none, and do not require meplat uniforming like Sierras. The only thing better is Lost River Ballistic bullets. Unfortunately they require insanely fast twist barrels, and cost a dollar each just for the bullet. |

| I use the 75 grain Berger VLD's in a G.A. Precision built .223 with a 1/8 twist barrel. So far, I have shot the Bergers to 600 yards with great accuracy. The best 5 shot group to date is 3.51" This was in conditions that were not favorable to say the least.

| I shoot these 210 grs bullets out to 1150 yards on a 14" steel gong. They are very accurate. Shoot them at 3000fps with a BC of .640 and be amazed. Ripped 2 coyotes a new hole the size of pie plates. |

| I shoot 115 VLD's out of a stock Remington "Sendero" 25-06 at 300, 500 & 600 yards. With a BC of 522 they perform excellent with my load. This is a great long range "match bullet" that will not let you down. |
