[QUOTE="cockednlocked, post: 1910389, member: 66393"] I shot a mule deer last season in Montana with the 215 out of my 300 win at 220 yds he was laying down so the only shot I had was in the neck on impact the bullet shoved a vertebra out of his neck the exit was about the size of a golf ball maby a little larger due to the bone exiting his body. He was drt the one thing I do with all my hunting rounds is push a pin in the tip to make sure they are not plugged to avoid a pencil through. I have shot many animals with bergers from almost point blank to 650 yds and never had an animal not drop in its tracks with minimal meat damage might just be lucky but the old rem core locks used to take out a lot more meat than I have personally experienced with bergers . I'm working on a new load with hammers to try out a copper bullet hopefully they are easier to get to shoot than the Barnes they didn't play nice when I tried them a couple years ago my rifle [/QUOTE]
