[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1743147, member: 13632"] I've tracked more high shoulder shot bulls into hell holes than I want to, if I see a high shoulder impact and a drop I'll often just put another round through them becaus you have no idea if you maybe shot just over the spine or just under and just shocked it, even a dead on spine hit if it's not forward will just knock out the rear wheels and they drag themselves of. Berger's will vary from bullet to bullet if they will exit in close, they'll still punch through a hard hit but they shred the core of the animal. I watched a bull take a 170 EOL from a 270 WSM at 150 yards behind the shoulder and the water line and it dropped him hard, the inside, of side was all sliced up and we poured his lungs out, at 8-900 yards same set up blows a 2-3 inch hole clean through them, the do the Berger wobble and tip. I used to be a two holes anytime guy till I realized the tracking is way more necessary and I get horrific blood trails from them blowing blood out from fragging their lungs. My buddy lung shot a cow yesterday and as she turned you could see the blood blowing out the side of her, the short blood trail was messy to the point you didn't want to walk through it. I've never shot a deer with a Berger that it stayed in them that I can think of, elk we catch a percentage of closer shots. [/QUOTE]
