[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1785866, member: 30902"] This is not a bullet designed to punch bone. Put it behind the shoulder and/or lower for a heart lung shot avoiding heavy bone and you'll probably have far fewer problems. The only danger you face then is the inevitable "penciling through" which Berger's are also prone to. Stick with the Hornady Interbond or Nosler Accubond and you won't have to worry about either problem or go to a mono like the Peregrine VLR's which will give you consistent, predictable expansion no matte what they hit. In the last forty years I've put more than a thousand game animals down and I've never seen consistent one shot kills like I have with the Peregrines. Hornady Interbond and Nosler Accubonds have given the best peformance in bonded bullets. The Barnes LRX has given me good performance as well but with a much smaller sampling. I shoot as many deer as I legally can every year and somewhere between 100-200 hogs, sometimes more so I get to look at a whole lot of terminal performance on game up close. The Peregrines gave me unmatched performance in Africa as well where I first discovered them after the bullets I'd brought with me repeatedly failed to give optimal results. [/QUOTE]
