[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 830677, member: 13632"] \ The thin jacket predates the thicker one, and the thick jacket target bullet was made in responce to jackets shredding during strings of fire or aggresive twist rates, the hunting line was not developed for hunting at all but is more or less the original target bullet. Some of the Target bullets are awesome for hunting like the 215 or 230 in the 30 cal but that does not mean every one will be great, the 6.5 Bergers tend to be slower to open than others unless your stressing the jacket in which case the Target starts working great but if your taking it easy on them at moderate velocities one can very well just pin hole one through with so little damage to the vitals that it will take time unless the bullet tumbles which I have not seen except for bullets that are on the edge of stability or true solids and I would not bank on tumbling to cover your butt!! I use the heck out of Bergers for hunting but I would not shoot one that took several shots to kill or when I open the animal up I have pin holes, don't care what the box says as the on game performance has final rule!
