[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 876257, member: 39801"] I wish I had some science to contribute, but I don't. I think it can be chalked up to "bullet weirdness". Projectiles ripping along at 3000fps seem to occasionally do weird things. Check out the umpteen threads where Berger fans and Barnes fans go at it. Most have had bad experiences (pr numerous great experiences) with one or the other. I don't think either side has a bone to pick - just hard for people to understand that their good or bad experience is not shared by all. I shot a 165 lb deer last fall with a 7-08 and a 139gr interbond at 55yds. He jumped at the shot and took off at a full run. I went to get him about 15 min later. I found him about 80 yards out. I walk up, and there is a 2" hole just in front of his right hip. How did I blow a 55yd rifle shot??? I flipped him over and the entry was about 3" up and 3" back from the front shoulder - perfect boiler-room shot. Couldn't tell you why that rib shot made a 80 degree turn..... But it did. [/QUOTE]
