[QUOTE="2xcluck, post: 1142385, member: 58576"] As this is my first comment after watching and reading LRH for a few years, I will be brief and to the point. As a professional hunting guide for over 20 years. I have watched the trend of Clients showing up to camp shooting Berger's going up...WAY up. Performance has been inconsistent at best. On elk, blow-ups and shallow penetration especially on big bone hits with tracking work, to one and done down in their tracks. On mule deer, pencil holes on non big bone hits, explosive on big bones I have lost one mule deer( on a high rib cage hit), but recovered all elk. To me they seem to be VERY velocity sensitive and inconsistent. Not all perfect bullet placement, but most in heart-lung-shoulder area. Non scientific I know, but probably 30-35 animals with Berger's of experience. 6.5, .270.7mm and .30 caliber bullets. 275-750 yards. I certainly am not bashing Berger's. Just passing on my 2cents of experience. [/QUOTE]
