[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 2011213, member: 1403"] Try running them through milk jugs lined up and filled with water at 25 yards or whatever distance you like really. I found they (bergers) typically only held between 30-35% of their original weight and always seperated from the core...Which isnt really that great for a big game bullet, especially elk up close. I always get a kick out of people claiming how explosive ballistic tips are, but will shoot match bullets and not even think twice about it haha. Doesnt make any sense to me...Ballistic tips usually hold between 40-50% of their weight. Accubonds typically hold 50-60%, partitions slightly better at around 60-65% average. Just some food for thought anyway...I've shot enough bullets from various cartridges into jugs over the last 20 years to get an idea of how a given bullet will perform, and it does give you a pretty good idea anyway.
