[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2281984, member: 65338"] Not sure what’s going on there. I’ve had nothing but excellent results. Even with shoulder shots I don’t damage meat nearly as bad as I have with other traditional “hunting” bullets back before I started using Berger. I wish I could say it was just luck, but I’ve shot too many animals now to call it that. They just flat out perform better than any other bullet I’ve used. Below is a mule deer buck I shot last year with the 220gr from my 300 NMI at 650 yards. (shoulder and back strap removed in photo for packingHe was quartering hard facing me. Hit him in the left side of the chest and found the bullet jacket right under the hide on the far right side at the back of the rib cage. No core, but jacket was perfectly pedaled out like how a bonded hunting bullet is designed to do. Virtually no meat damage or blood shot around the entrance or exit under the hide. His vitals were turned into complete gelatin. My wife, son, and I all shot a mule deer buck with that rifle and those bullets last year. All perfect performances.

And that’s not counting all of the many animals my father in law, son, and other friends and family members have taken with Berger bullets. All nothing but excellent results over the years.
