[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 897503, member: 1007"] The best words in this thread yet. I have mixed feelings about bergers but then again, I've only shot one antelope with them and my buddy shot a dall sheep with the same load. Both showed signs of promise. At this point, I'll still use them but with the same attitude as when I'm driving and approach a flashing yellow street light....proceed with caution. I am still an accubond fan. I've had great results with them. I did loose one critter with them but it was shot placement here not bullet performance. How do I know it was placement? Because I found chunks of liver material along the blood trail. It obviously blew a fair sized hole through. Similar to what I saw earlier that year on a dall ram. It was a semi offhand shot. 225 yards. I was fairly steady but just before the shot broke, drifted back a bit. Eventually lost the blood trail, seemingly a zillion deer tracks all over the place made it impossible to track by hoof prints. Loosing critters sucks. Even if you did put a lot of effort into the search. At least I know it was my fault and not the bullet's fault. [/QUOTE]
