[QUOTE="WesB, post: 370589, member: 10459"] I used Bergers for the first time this year on a cow elk hunt. I was concerned about the Hunting bullets blowing up at the higher velocities of close range shots so I loaded both the Target and Hunting 168 VLD's for my 7mm mag. I was hoping the Target bullets would have a more controlled expansion at higher velocities. I shot a cow at 560 yards with the Hunting bullet. The first shot was right behind the shoulder a little low in the chest. She didn't go down right away so I dropped in a round with the Target bullet and hit her about 4 inches above the first shot . That one dropped her. Both bullets exited. Both had pin hole entrance wounds and about 2 inch exit wounds. Internal damage looked about the same. Wes [/QUOTE]
