[QUOTE="Broz, post: 623371, member: 7503"] WRONG!!! This is where the Berger will shine the most. At the slowed velocity of a 1200 yard shot the berger would be your best chance of a shot that would do enough damage to down the Bull. This shot with a Bares is a very high percentage shot where the bullet would not expand at all and that bull would keep right on going unless you were lucky enough to get a center shot heart. Even many of the solid copper users will tell you the Berger is better at 1200 yards for more than one reason. Fact #1 Berger is more accurate at 1200 and shot placement is king. Fact #2 Berger has higher BC to retain Velocity energy and less drift. Fact #3 If anything will expand at this distance it would be a Berger. I always suggest to people that what ever bullet they use, know how the bullet works and at what velocities it performs best. I hope this post helps you a little to know your bullet better. I have taken a Bull at 1130 yards, you better have a good expanding bullet to do it. Jeff [/QUOTE]
