I've only killed one deer with the 6.5 140VLD. It was at 1100 yards, one shot through the lungs and it was dead. There was about 800lbs of energy, I'm not sure about the impact velocity off the top of my head. The bullet expanded enough (obviously) but the exit hole was not dramatic by any means. I'm not sure that it's a fair test but if it worked that far away, I'm sure they will work at normal ranges.

I've shot quite a few groundhogs with them from 350 to 800 yards. They make an awesome sound when they hit and you can usually see through the hog! Needless to say, I'm going to keep shooting them. Way, way, way better than the 140MK.

I know that the AMAX works beautifully as well, but if the Bergers are shooting well for you I wouldn't worry one bit.
