[QUOTE="anthonyinva, post: 2055947, member: 20379"] I shot a 425 lb bear at 20 yards with a 168 gr berger from a 280 AI. It went about 80 yards no blood at all. the bullet did great, it exploded the lung and shrapnel went thru the heart. I recovered a 98.0 gr bullet from the off side just under the skin. I think the bullet would have preformed better when it slowed down a bit at a longer range. Berger are my go to bullet in everthing, but with bear I think an exit is a must, due the the fat and hair. I have been a part of 3 bear recoverys this year with archery and none went over 30 yards and the blood trails were outstanding. [/QUOTE]
