[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 324534, member: 13632"] That sucks man, I'm going to ease into using them and have a good load with a Accubond stuck in it just in case. I've seen 7mm cals do that with several bullets, one of the reasons I don't pack one. My dad shot some 210 Bergers out of a 300WBY at 200 yds into antifreeze jugs with water and there was no doubt about it opening up, went through the first jug ( 3.5 in) then it blew up through 3-4 jugs, no elk would have walked away from a hit like that. The Best of the West guys seem to favor shooting through bone, that may have something to do with how they open up behind the shoulder. All I've managed to shoot with Bergers out of my 270WSM is a couple coyotes and they will not open up at close range, at 500 one opened up but not much but I really wasn't expecting a coyote to open them up.
