[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 443473, member: 22030"] I had another point that I hadn't seen brought up yet about the bergers. The bergers are designed to make a tiny entrance wound and cause massive damage, not exiting the animal. From the results of 3 whitetail I've shot with them, they do a pretty good job of this. What makes me nervous about them is that the only hole you have to leave a blood trail is the tiny entrance wound. In the case of a poor shot there will be no blood trail. The deer I've taken with the berger (95gr 243) never went over 30yds after the shot due to extreme internal damage but it still worries me. I also have had issues with the bullet not expanding enough to quickly kill coyote size game. My favorite bullet remains the accubond at this point. I am going to continue using the berger stand hunting in antlerless season where I am confident in getting a good broadside shot to test them further, but I'm shooting my 270 with accubonds for buck season.
