[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1574750"] I think you'll see failures with any bullet out there. Many (including myself) have seen the same issues you described with Bergers, I've had them pencil though a whitetail at 330 yards and explode on an elk at 100 yards. A few years ago I tested Berger 6.5 140 and 338 250 expansion at 800, 900, and 1000 yards; I ended up with about 1/2 of the bullets failing to expand when shot into wood rounds, I've never had one single 147 or 180 ELD-M not expand in the same test. I know it's not a completely realistic test but it definitely showed me that if anything Berger expansion is inconsistent. I'm not doubting your experiences but I've found ELD-M's to be more reliable at long range expansion than most, the only downside is they're explosive inside 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
