If someone would get the Import License for Matrix Bullets we could all ditch this thread and be happy! LOL
Don't know that this fits this thread that well. Hill country buck @ 75 yds not exactly LRH. But the Berger did a number on him. Golf ball sized exit w/ 15 yd blood trail. Rib to rib behind the shoulder. The heart was hanging out the bottom of the chest. Entrance was 6" above the bottom of its chest. First kill w/ this load.Come on Rhett, chime in. Want to hear how the 156 worked on your great whitetail buck.
This year I shot my mule deer buck at 300 yds with a 270gr ELDx, my bull elk at 750 with a 300gr Elite Hunter, 2 does with Berger 195gr EOL. Everything died right there. My elk was a pass thru, one shot, 5 steps and laid down, dead. My buddy got behind my rifle and killed his 15 yds away. Same impact point, dead right there. I don't see how using a bullet that works for you makes you a "supporter". Or better yet, why are you so butt hurt that Bergers are working for guys? What's it matter? I've shot ABLRs, ELDx and Bergers as well as Partions and Accu-Bonds. I've seen em all perform spectacularly and I've seen em fail. Whether it was poor shot placement, which is usually what happens, or bullet itself just failed to perform, which does happen as well, bottom line is stuff happens. I use what I use because it has worked for me. Sorry you can't get Bergers to perform for you.Phase one of Berger defense- accuse all naysayers of being incompetent, unqualified marksmen!
Nice ! Congrats , again !Don't know that this fits this thread that well. Hill country buck @ 75 yds not exactly LRH. But the Berger did a number on him. Golf ball sized exit w/ 15 yd blood trail.

Just behind the shoulder through both lungs.Where did you hit him?
Ok boomer
I have had plenty of fun messing with the Berger guys here but I never said that it isn't a fantastic bullet, just that IMO it isn't a good all around-magic bullet as some Berger fans praise it to be. Can it kill an Elk or Moose sized animal...of course it can. So can a FMJ 223 or a 22lr. Is it the BEST CHOICE for those animals...NO and deep down you guys know that.
Choose your bullet for the game you are after. Just as you wouldn't expect a Ferrari to go off road or a Hummer to win the Grand Prix, don't put unrealistic expectations on a bullet.
My 2 cents anyway
