Trimming Bergers for hunting?

[Joefrazell]

Does anybody run their Berger bullets through a trimmer before hunting? Seems like the this would help some of the unreliable expansion issues, but I'm not sure how it would effect BC and down range performance/accuracy. Especially in the 156 EOL that seems to have mixed reviews. Thanks

Bergers don't expand and mushroom like what you're thinking they do. They become unstable once in the animal and then yaw and come apart. Drilling holes is a waist of time. Aim for the shoulder and they will not "pencil"
