[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2012200, member: 4191"] Move on past the Bergers and be done with it. You aren't the first, and won't be the last. You've already lost confidence in them, and will be second guessing them for another 4yrs, even if you should get better results. As others have mentioned, good terminal performance is available from a number of other bullets to the longest yardage shots you've cited. I tried the Berger bullets. It got to the point I meplat uniformed and hollow-pointed every Berger bullet I owned before I'd hunt with them. I spent $300 for the meplat uniforming tools. That effort was 100% successful in avoiding any additional failures to expand on large game. But I still didn't care for their terminal performance. Meat shredders. I've migrated to lathe-turned monolithic bullets, and have been happy with them for four hunting seasons now. A good rule of thumb with bullets is "live and let live". Some would be tickled pink with the performance of my meplat uniformed and counter sunk hollow-pointed Berger bullets. Great, if it makes them happy. Why should I care either way? Doesn't affect me either which way. They disappointed me, so I moved on with no regrets. [/QUOTE]
