[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1698674, member: 13632"] I understand that, my first animal with a Berger was a goat an I held back and was not impressed till I realized the only reason I recovered the animal with poor shot placement was because I was using a Berger, had I done that with the TSX I was shooting before or even the Hammers I shoot now I would have lost it. Berger's are there best bullet I've shot for recovering game when you screw the pooch!! I've had some very large entrance wounds on goats but I think it has more to do with how light they are and the shock wave does something, I've shot goats and seen an 8 inch entrance but the same exact shot on an elk it's a nice pencil hole and a golf ball exit and carnage in the middle, just a theory but I don't think a goat can hold the pressure wave of a close hit and you get some kind of blow back, my 270 WSM with 140 Accubonds at 3350 fps would do the same thing to a goat with a huge entrance but an elk just a cal hole.
