[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 570547, member: 951"] I feel the same, in 2009 I used a 140/6.5 yellow box match bullet on a whitetail at 419 yards, running it 3200 fps, performance was as it should be, not unlike an accubond. 2010, I shot 2 whitetails with the hunting bullet 140 gr, one was 457 yds, the other 493, neither bullet got into the chest cavity before coming to pieces. a week later took my 12 yo nephew out to shoot a doe, he shot her at 230 yds [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h274/wv_Ridge_Runner/106_1726.jpg[/IMG] all three deer shot had an entrance wound that looked like this, you can see the bullet never really got inside the ribcage intact, only reason we found this one was because we had some snow on the ground, the other 2 were recoverd, one after tracking 1/2 mile, the other a mile and a half, no more bergers for me least not in 6.5. they do however shoot wonderfully accurate, here is my best group shot to date, 3 shots at a lazered 752 yds, just a shame I can't get satisfactory performance on game with them [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h274/wv_Ridge_Runner/2shots.jpg[/IMG] RR [/QUOTE]
