[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 2431141, member: 91374"] TommyJohn, The Bergers seem to be ALL expansion or none! On our little body Texas deer, Im a fan of the body cavity exploding but I am surprised you didn’t exit with 156gr. I prefer that over the pencil hole I have got several times. Berger seems to be most finicky in the 6.5 as the 30 & 338’s seem to be more consistent. I’ve seen the 338, 300gr hybrids flatten tons of deer from 30-1760yds. They always expand and exit but its a lot of weight to push on through. The 215gr hybrids have rave reviews So in conclusion if you are using a 6.5 and hunting at standard ranges below 400yds then I would use a cup&core or accubond type bullet. The Hammers will work great but may be pricy for what your doing. If you take that 6.5 for something bigger like Elk then I would absolutely stoke it with some Hammers! James, [/QUOTE]
