[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1660675, member: 13632"] I've seen exactly one Berger pencil, still killed her, in hundreds of animals which is the lowest number from any bullet I've shot, I've had exactly zero Bergers blow up, I've ran them fast and slow as close a 80 yards on bull elk right in the heavy neck to 1000 plus though the lungs and neck, very even performance each time. One of our favorite antelope chamberings is a 22-250 pushing a Berger varmint bullet 3500 fps, my buddy shot a doe right on the point of the shoulder at spitting distance quartering to him and it ended up under her hid on the of side, all the other have exited and very dead goats and the same effect when we where shooting piles of whitetail does with them. I've have FAR better results up close and far with match type bullets than one marketed for hunting! I've hit elk and deer close with 215 Bergers, 140 bergers, 170 Bergers, 300 and 250 Bergers and several others and all make it into the core of the animal and destroy the their will to live very quick and clean, my favorite bullet from a 308 is a 215 Berger and it knocks them out of their hooves close or far. I have shot a lot of deer and elk trying to make a target bullet, specifically a Berger either blow or pencil and never have been able to except that one random doe with a 210. [/QUOTE]
