[QUOTE="werth338, post: 1407043, member: 104514"] I can’t speak specifically to Berger as I have never shot them at an animal. I did shot antelope with 143 gr eld-x at 3305 mv this fall. I called Hornady to make sure it would open and they said under 200 yards to make sure not to hit shoulder at that range. Antelope ended up being 159 yds away. Very small entry between ribs and went through at a 45 degree angle. Exit hole was baseball to softball size. Was blood soup in the chest cavity and blew the offside lung into two pieces. It took a few steps and fell over. I think Berger makes a great bullet. I prefer an Eld-X or Barnes when hunting based on experience. [/QUOTE]
