[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2426582, member: 95344"] Yeah when you consider that Bergers typically penetrate two inches and then expand or fragment 6-8 inches of total penetration something seems off. I have 2800 fps impact at 100 yards so 2750 fps doesn't seem out of the ordinary. One possible explanation could be if the throat is rough then maybe the jacket is compromised. In any case picking a bullet construction to match range and impact velocities might have called for something like a Nosler BT in this case. Or a heavier Berger so one would have more mass for close range impacts. [/QUOTE]
