Which would be the better all around bullet for deer out of a 280AI, 8 twist, 27" tube.
Shots between 70 and 450 yards on a windy ridge. I want enough expansion on a broadside lung shot at 400yds, and also have enough penetration for a quartering towards or straight on shot at 100yds.
I have been practicing at 500 yards. My rifle shoots both the 162 AMAX and 168 VLD pretty good (3"-4" for 3 shots) and BDC works perfectly with them at 2970 fps.
Am pretty impressed with others experiences with VLDs, like to hear some 162 AMAX feedback.
