[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2853691, member: 1039"] I used to hunt a high fence ranch with a friend and he hated my Berger VLD's. I shot (still do) a 7mm Rem Mag with 168gr Bergers. I never lost an animal but they would travel some and the blood trail wasn't the best, but it was there. Over in the George West area of TX the game have tunnels in the brush (they call it brush country for a reason) and while mine never made it into the brush, a friends son's animal did. I ended up crawling in after it and finding it. To keep peace on the ranch, I switched to a 150 gr Barnes TSX (now trying the TTSX) and the two deer I killed with them died with very little change in location. One was literally DRT and the other went less than 10 yards. The exit wounds were significant as was the internal damage. That said, everything that was hit over the years we hunted died and was recovered. PS - Shawn Carlock does alright with Bergers in his .338 Edge :) [/QUOTE]
