[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1742760, member: 104363"] I've hit antelope, deer and elk with Bergers. All except one had good hits, my fault. The bullet was 180 grain 7mm Vld hunting. 3 good hits were DRT. I feel that if I tried to break down a shoulder on the entrance side it would be a wounded animal due to the bullet fragmentation. Rib bones initiated the explosive fragging into the chest cavity and no exits at 125, and 300 yard shots. 1 deer at 40 yards did leave a 2" exit with a 168 VLD hunting. I'd prefer a tougher bullet and I did switch, but I must say, the Bergers did bring them down. I just didn't want to rely on only broadside shots to get the performance out of the Bergers. The animals don't cooperate that way all the time. [/QUOTE]
