[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1754047, member: 14435"] I put the finisher in a mulie a few years back, Hunting for the first time with a couple guys from work. Deer was broadside at a short 50 yards (maybe 45) first shot was from a 6.5-06 with a 140 vld, right on the point of the shoulder. Made a 8” diameter ugly wound on the shoulder, no big fragments made it into the chest cavity to create damage. Only time I have seen a berger “fail” and I think it was more of a fluke. I have shot a couple deer with the same bullet from 6.5-284 and a 260 with no issue, but I prefer to tuck the bullet in tight behind the shoulder. Wish I had a couple pics of the damage, would be a nasty wound to limp around with. [/QUOTE]
