[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1574885, member: 13632"] Not to worried about bullet performance in logs, an open tip bullet will perform erratic in media that does not provide enough hydraulics to open them well. I'm frankly more concerned about what I see inside game animals than what happens in media or what a bullet does on paper, Ive built several test rigs to catch bullets but nothing really passes for actual game. The best bullets I've seen work for us may not work for everyone and vice versa, I've seen exactly one Berger not open and that was before checking tips, I've seen some that just didn't make me super happy with the consistency, we've had some just hammer time after time, the Berger 105 and 115 in 6mm, the 140 6.5 had hammered so many elk it's stupid, the Matrix 6.5 and 270 cals have been excellent the 150 in 6.5 and 165 in 270 are just so consistent in wound channels. The Berger 180 hunting I've been happy with, the 168 has been real good to. In 30 cal the 215 has proven probably one of the most consistently lethal bullets made. I actually prefer the 250 Berger to the 300, right up there with the 215 for just wrecking an elks will to live, I've seen few things trap door an elk like the 250 and it's proven over 1400 to even hammer deer. The Hammer bullets have been very consistent for me but in some of my rifles I want more range but in rifles purpose built for medium range I'm really liking them! These are one that just hammer for us and in our guns, others need to do the work to know what is a solid, lethal match for each shooter. [/QUOTE]
