[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 896972, member: 11717"] So Mike you are saying the entrance hole was 6" across with little penetration? How deep was the penetration? Edit... just read post #3 Had he handloaded 215's I think the story would have been very different. I would not hunt with anything less than the 215's in a frangible bullet in the larger cartridge 30 cals. In just about every case that there has been a reported Berger "fail" it's been with lighter bullets in larger cartridges. That said, the MV would not have been more than 3000 fps and it was a 400 yd shot. I would have thought it would have penetrated better. What cartridge were you seeing the 6.5 140 failures out of?
