[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 389913, member: 22262"] Judging by what Brian says you want have to worry about them "punching" a hole in anything here is his entire statement. [B]Re: Tech info on Bergers new 338 caliber 300 grain Hybrids[/B] My 'gut feeling' is that they'll perform similarly to VLD's in other calibers. If they don't fragment/expand the same, they will destabilize/tumble on impact, which is another way to increase frontal area (as opposed to mushrooming) and cause a lot of damage. Regardless of what it does, it's 300 grains of metal that carries a lot of energy. Look how lethal the SMK's are and they're not designed for terminal performance at all. [B][U]Berger's official position is that these bullets should not be used for hunting animals until they're properly tested on appropriate media and proven to be suitable.[/U][/B] __________________ Bryan Litz Ballistician [URL="http://www.bergerbullets.com/"][COLOR=#551011]Berger Bullets[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://appliedballisticsllc.com/"][COLOR=#551011]Applied Ballistics, LLC[/COLOR][/URL] [/QUOTE]
