[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2454095, member: 30902"] If you put the Berger bullets where they'll do the most good, in softer tissues, and they work as designed they will perform very well. The problem is I've seen too many cases where they failed to open up at all and just penciled through or blew up shallow failing to penetrate into the body cavity before fragmenting for me to have confidence in them. The one deer I shot this year with a Berger bullet failed to track and exploded shallow causing an excessive amount of wasted meat and a slow death. That reminded me of why I quit shooting them. I'd found an old box of 300RUM loaded with the 210 and had just decided to go ahead and shoot them up so I could have the cases to reload with. The rest I expended on paper targets and rocks.
