[QUOTE="RockyMtnUT, post: 2485350, member: 40704"] 180 Berger at 80yards. Its not just a 156 thing. I found this one just under elk hide after broadside shot/quartering away. I shot this thing 2x. First with a fail & second it worked as should. Now, as with anything there are variables. I get it. Tips were not “plugged”. So why the failure? Note: In my book I shouldn’t have to use a dental pic to play. 🤣 I only keep those with me for my Idaho friends. I still shoot Bergers at certain game and to foul my barrels. But when I head to Alaska next season I will not be using them. Plenty of capable Bullets out there. This not a first time incident. I know if the kool-aid ain’t right. 🍿 Or just use the nosler in last picture? Impact on elk at over 3000fps 1 and done. [/QUOTE]
