[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 433524, member: 8927"] I have used bergers a bit and am impressed with them, when used correctly. I would not use them up close because I feel they would over expand (blow-up) and not penetrate. However, when the distance increases and velocity drops off they expand and penetrate well. I have shot several red deer and a pig at 400 - 590 yards with the 168 berger from a 7mm mag. The berger behaved as expected. Massive trauma inside, no exit, animal dead on the spot.
