[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 2070065, member: 3622"] Yes, real life results that can be shared with others is the main reason I view these threads. If you don't ponder those results, then why would we be here? As quoted above a long history of success is the main thing I look for and of course I view the failures too! The problem with the failures unless they are verified is the chance (sometimes likely chance) that the placement was not where the shooter believed it to be if that animal is not recovered. A sample of one or 2 is a little iffy, but I don't ignore them but on the other hand I know weird crap can happen with the best of bullets. My Wife's hunting bullet that I load for her in a 6.5x55 & her 6.5CM is the 140 Nosler Partition. That bullet is perfect for her as she has a self imposed 300yd. limit so the max. BC is not required. She has taken 2 Elk with that bullet and several Deer. The bullet penetrated both shoulders and exited both of the Elk and always hole in and out of the Deer except one. It was a smaller Buck than she normally shoots and did not hit much bone but did not penetrate far, I never could figure out why but I have figured out that if you shoot enough animals you will have a strange experience or 2. So, I try to look at the total numbers and also the most accurate info given on placement along with range. What I have gathered from reading tons about the 215 Berger is that it works. After all, when you see that Broz has witnessed more Elk taken with that bullet than the number of Elk that most will see in our lifetime alive it seems to be quite compelling. I would think in the interest of his customers he would change bullets if he needed to. [/QUOTE]
