[QUOTE="Flatbow, post: 3081687, member: 89124"] Two seasons ago one of my buddy's shot a 5x5 Elk. Neck shot so the Bull did drop right there but the bullet did not exit just blew up on contact. I know dead is dead but I just expected a little more damage. Last season he hit a nice mule deer buck and it ran hundreds of yards and just was not the damage I would have expected from a 195gr berger. Yes it could have been a better hit but All the same the bullet just did not impress. It does seem that bergers QC has gone down hill in resent years. As I have been having to make sure the hollow points are open which never seemed to be an issue 5+ years ago. I would say that 80% of the tips are plugged and need cleaned and no I am not damaging them or making them any bigger when cleaning the tips. If I can find them I will post a photo of a few of there 195's that had very bad flaws that where in new boxes of bullets. I am not dead set against them but don't think I will be running them in any of my rifles. My Son is still using them in his 270WSM pushing the berger 150's. No issues with them yet performance wise but we do have to clean the tips on these as well. [/QUOTE]
