[QUOTE="Priley, post: 2701240, member: 99018"] I always have to laugh when I hear that a bullet needs to exit.. Well I ain't shooting a bow so I don't want an exit hole. Berger bullets are awesome on North American Big Game period. I have killed everything from coyotes to large bears with them and they just plain work. If you put a bullet through the vitals on anything it's not going to run far if it even moves at all. I am a big fan of high shoulder shot because when I do my part there is no tracking. You shut down the central nervous system and they don't even take a step. You say these animals can move and cause a miss or a bad shot. It's been my experience that at ranges beyond 600 yards the animal you are shooting is relaxed and has no idea danger is near. I read the time it takes for the animal to move you could miss or wound the animal?? How far is a relaxed animal going to move in 1.5 seconds? That's how long it take my bullet (133 Berger) to travel 1200 yards. Maybe I'm just lucky but in 45 plus years of big game hunting I have learned a thing or two. With Berger I shoot better. [/QUOTE]
