[QUOTE="Bud Martin, post: 331270, member: 17000"] Wow you guys were busy while I was gone for a day. Just to clarify things a bit, yes the deer was dead (how the hell you think I got the bullet?) it would not have been any deader if it was shot with the biggest baddest super duper 338 stroke your ego magnum. the bullet also preformed just as I thought it would, a berger bullet would preform basically the same. I have one here on my desk from last year and will post the pic with this reply. the reality is that these bullets kill differently than a bonded controlled expansion hunting bullet. the fact is they kill much like a arrow and require a very good hit to kill efficiently. the deer that took this smk bullet died in seconds. my point was to show you all recovered bullet from a VERY dead deer. both bullets in this pic are bergers, the one on the left is a 7mm 180vld recovered from a whitetail buck at 947 yards the bullet went thru the neck breaking the neck and stopped under the hide on the off side. this was a clients gun and I don't know the load info, the deer was also dead. the bullet on the right is 6.5 140 vld recovered from a antelope at 925 the bullet entered between the ribs and went thru vitals and was recoverd in the offside shoulder it passed thru bone in the shoulder. I have no idea where the jacket was we never found it. muzzel velocity was 3190 on this load. and yes this antelope was also dead. and while I could be wrong I doubt if any of these dead deer or antelope reall knew if they were hit by a little old 6.5 or 7mm bullet.[IMG]http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu204/BudMartin/berger.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
