[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 697386, member: 22242"] I am right there with you. I dont shoot berger vld's but in my 338 I shoot the SMK and it has been anything but consistent. sometimes it wont open at all sometimes it comes apart instantly. I have a friend who uses the 168vld in his 7mm and he has lost elk, deer and bear but refuses to try another bullet because he is drinking the BC Koolaide...not saying its unimportant because it IS important but to me I would rather have a bullet I can count on. It was mentioned on here that (bigngreen i believe) that he kills a lot of elk. Well I do too 2 per year until this year where we are now allowed 3 per person. along with 6 deer and 6 antelope. I put a lot of animals down and I use a lot of Barnes and a few noslers I have had nothing but great results 14-15 animals per year. my buddy Eolkoholic who used to use bergers in his 6.5 had zero faith because they seemed to fail every time he used them. he is now a Barnes and Nosler guy. I just dont see how people say fragmenting bullets are the only way to go. you cant live with sucking chest wounds, and you cant walk with broken bones. Maybe barnes arent the perfect LR bullet but they are the perfect killing bullet. If ce can shoot as well, and kill as well and are as easy to get to shoot as a Barnes then id like to try them, however them splitting down the middle in the above picture is kind of a turn off for me [/QUOTE]
