[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1699486, member: 74670"] My experience with Berger's seem to be different than others. I used to shoot 180 gr VLDs in a Gunwerks 7 LRM. I never saw them blow up going in , I always had a nice entry hole, but the exit hole was always huge on Antelope. Bigger than your fist. It seemed they would achieve their maximum fragmentation at about the distance at the offside body of an antelope. I could see how they would work well on larger game as the fragmentation would start and finished inside say elk size game. I stopped using them because I used the same bullet on Antelope, Deer and Elk and didn't like to waste that much meat on Antelope. Often I'd lose the off-shoulder completely due to the fragmentation. I use Hornady 175 grain ELD X's now in my 28 Nosler. [/QUOTE]
