[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 887114, member: 39547"] Having only killed a few whitetail doe with 115gr vld from with 25-06 I'm by no means an expert on ballistics. But doesn't berger recommend a high shoulder shot on their website for larger critters maybe to ensure fragmentation? Every deer I've seen killed with them were bang flop and right behind the shoulder shots, golf to baseball sized exits hitting ribs both coming and going. A couple hit shoulder blades on both sides and didn't exit but they were extremely close shots like 20-30yd. Maybe you got that one in million bullet that just wasn't right to begin with. I've only ever heard a handful of complaints with these bullets and I researched them extensively on this and other sites when choosing a load for my 06 and 7mag. If you've only had one weird experience with them out of the 20 or so you've killed I'd say that's still pretty good results. [/QUOTE]
