[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2401383, member: 4191"] I've had 3 bullet failures. Two on dall rams, and one on a black bear. All animals were recovered with additional shots fired. Two bullets failed to expand. One a .308 caliber 210gr Berger VLD at 330yds impact. One a .284 caliber 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 12yds impact. One bullet shrapnelled and failed to penetrate. A .308 caliber 210 Berger VLD from a 300 Win Mag on a black bear at 7yds. In addition, I was present when a hunting partner had a bullet failure. I finished off his black bear. He shot a 200gr Nosler Ballistic Tip from a 338 Win Mag. Broadside profile. Bullet never expanded. Impact distance was 225yds. .338 hole thru and thru on his first shot. If I had continued hunting with the .308 210gr Berger VLD, I'm feel certain I'd have had more problems. [/QUOTE]
