    The 168 berger would be a unspectacular killer of deer at 7mm08 velocities, unless you hit near the spine like the yanks do, then needing a second shot.

    Hard targets they are fine but the 150BT often performs better with its stubby little ogive allowing easier load tuning.

    Why not use the 140VLD wouldn't they be better in terms of not taking up case capacity for powder?
