[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2011461, member: 115190"] I loaned my back up 270 wsm shooting 130 classic hunters to a buddy on opening day of WY buck a few weeks ago. He shot a running 4x2 in the guts. Just hair at impact spot, no blood. They found it a 100+ yards away bedded and dispatched it with a final shot. The next evening I used it as I needed a better handling rifle where I was going and shot a 3x3 at 50 yards that was quatering hard to my left through the front shoulder, it mule kicked and went 30 yards and expired. The lungs were mush. Upon skinning it the shoulder was completely destroyed and there was a fist size hole though the rib cage with no exit wound. If your going to shoot a Berger or even a BT you better put it on the vitals. If you do not make a good shots a exit is nice for tracking but a good shot on the vitals with a Berger or fragmenting match bullet works as good or better. As all the energy is dumped on the vvitals. Shot placement is key. Really any bullet on the vitals with decent energy will kill. I shoot Bergers cuz I have more confidence they will hit the vitals at longer ranges. But a LRX is not a bad choice eithet. You do you. [/QUOTE]
