[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1119826, member: 48043"] Two things here... one- you have a dead critter so the bullet actually did its job, albeit a bit poorly... two, even at 600+ yards, the 180 berger is still a rather soft bullet for hitting any bone started at the vel. you are starting them at. Two years ago I shot a mule deer buck through the neck at 480 yards with a 140ab in my stw. The bullet performed about perfectly, with a nice hole through the critter and instantly dead critter. No surface splash or serious shrapnel at al; even going through the neck bones. Sometimes you can have too much bullet for the job at hand and need to be extra careful as to where you place that bullet. I see the berger in that light for mid range shots... The nos ab will shed vel/ energy faster but hold together better on mid range shots. [/QUOTE]
