[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 398128, member: 9736"] I recently shot a hog with my 7wsm. 168gr Berger at 2980 fps. Impressive impact. The bullet entered high in the shoulder in front of the shoulder blade and broke two ribs going in, it completely liquified his lungs and heart. It didn't exit the chest cavity. The hog was around 250 lbs and it picked him completely off his feet and slammed him into a creek bed. I agree with kiwi and normally shoot 140 gr accubond close range but wanted to see the performance of the Bergers. If you shoot a whitetail at close range I would use the accubond in either 140 or 160 versions. I have shot several whitetails with the 140 accubond and have been very happy with them. They don't destroy much meat and the deer usually goes around 20 yards with a huge blood trail. Bergers are great for the long range work but I would use more of a traditional hunting bullet when you don't need the high bc and accuracy of the Berger. [/QUOTE]
