[QUOTE="timeless61, post: 443025, member: 13530"] here is my next question, as I said it is not really a long range gun anymore, I am curious about the bergers. I know what a 168 a-max does on wet newspaper at 50 yards and i was pretty unimpressed, and do not think it would do very much to an animal they pretty much exploded on impact and did not penetrate in my tests anyway. what will the bergers do? this gun will mainly see shots in the 75 yard range, out to 400 max, so I do not need fantastic accuracy but want it to be as good as possible, and part of that is just me being annoyed knowing it can do better. my main worry is what happens with a berger or similar bullet if i shoot a 500 lb black bear with it or hit bone on a deer or a bear of that size? that is not being unrealistic either with how the bear have been around here lately. I am hesitant with x bullets, as they seem to not open up that well on deer, and also get very expensive, or when it comes down to it, do i really need two different loads, one for deer and one for bear? if so, again what does a berger or similar do on deer at closer range, I only ask because they do seem to shoot so much better.
