[QUOTE="AHoffart, post: 1558496, member: 108096"] Sorry, BUT, I have used and seen many Bergers used on various game animals in the past..Will NEVER use them again on game..In my humble opinion, they are a fine target bullet..but big game, there is much better available.. I used my 6.5/284 with 130's 2 years ago on 2 pronghorn..one at 228 yards..another just shy of 400..in both cases the bullets exploded..completely destroying the front shoulder..with meat being blood shot all the say to the hind quarter..Saw a bull elk take a direct hit off of a friends 300 Win Mag 2 years ago--at about 120 yards..bull took off running..I hit him with my 300RUM using A-Frames and tipped him over..the Berger in the elk had also exploded --hole going in was about the size of a softball..but no penetration.. each to their own but I use Swifts..all over the world..from Africa to Kyrgyzstan to Alaska.. until I find better, that is what I will use..have also used Nosler Accubonds out of my 280AI for various sheep and goat species, also work fine however I feel the Accubonds do best when the MV is 3100fps or less..
