I’m kind of in DDs school of thought here too. I shoot the same combination as you are but in a 300RUM and while it’s a highly effective combination for killing quick, they do make a bit of a mess. This doesn’t bother me much but on the two deer I’ve shot with this combo, one was 280 yards and I had a softball sized exit. The other was 646 yards and copper all over the place. Another deer shot with a 115gr VLD out of a 257 Wby, copper all over. But not a flinch or kick from any of them and what a pile of damage. I know how they will perform and it’s to be expected.
I just picked up a 28 Nosler for something along the lines of what DD is eluding to. Point and shoot, holding on hair to 400 or a bit better. Doesn’t need to be a bomber and I’m definitely looking at trying a different construction of projectile. To each their own though and it’s just my take. I probably border on what could be classed as a Berger fan boy to boot. Lots of good bullets out there.
