[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2950923, member: 4191"] If you hit the animal where you aimed, you might consider use of a different bullet. Some Burgers do not expand. Some shrapnel prematurely, lacking penetration. I experienced both extremes with Burgers. And these were on animals I recovered, with additional finishing shots required. So no guessing as to bullet performance. As a consequence, I haven't shot a Burger at an animal for the past 7 seasons. I keep them, but use them to fire form wildcat cartridge cases, or foul clean bores prior to hunting. [/QUOTE]
