[QUOTE="ithinkimissed, post: 1092884, member: 90888"] i just got my second 7mag. i'm hoping the HSM 168 Bergers will shoot well out of it. This rifle is an a bolt II with the BOSS so it should be able to find a good grouping. anyone ever try this combo and if so, what was the sweet spot on the BOSS? brownings BOSS sweet spot chart doesn't have a reference for bergers and i'd just like to know a ballpark range of where to start so i don't burn through so much ammo. i'd go with the bergers. the only bad thing i hear about them is that they waste meat and make a mess......but a wounded deer not found is a waste of meat too. i've gone from the SST's that grouped exceptionally well in my last season's go to gun but didn't penetrate through the biggest two bucks i shot last season. they expanded but didn't penetrate. so i switched to a tougher bullet and it penetrated but didn't expand much so there was still no blood trail. i still found all 3 bucks but i don't like trailing/searching for deer. so now i do like i always do and finally and painstakingly do what my mentor suggests and switched to the bergers. he says they were designed with expansion in mind but i've never seen one not penetrate through anywhere on a whitetail. if the bergers don't group well i'd go with the barnes vortex. good expansion and penetration. just be prepared for a little tougher/longer time cleaning barrels with these all copper bullets [/QUOTE]
