[QUOTE="bullridety, post: 727951, member: 34773"] Well here is my response to a few questions that were being asked: I asked Broz if he recieved bullets, because i think he did a great job on publishing photos and info. ect. on a hunting bullet that was used in a hunting situation! Everyone appreciates the feedback that is done in the field rather than just on paper! I too, test alot of bullets and calibers at different ranges on different species of animals! Its interesting to see the results. 7mm Mag Load Winchester Case Federal Large Rifle Magnum Match Primer 70.0 grains of Hodgon Retumbo 180 gr. Berger Hunting VLD Lot # 4250 500count of Bullets (some performed great on animals and a few didnt) No i did not touch the tips of any bullets and yes my i feed my rounds out of the magazine, and i know the question there is going to be did you slam the tip against the magazine ect and close the tip up! but no i did not do that, i am aware of that being possible though. So far i think Phorwath has the greatest ideal of information as far as testing the 400+ bullets and finding 7 that were fully enclosed. I do like Berger bullets as i said before and im not trying to give them a bad reputation, I will continue to use Berger bullets but i really want the explanation of why some perform and why some dont. Yes i agree heart and lung shots are vital shots. but not all hunting conditions are perfect and for anyone that shoots long range knows that anything can happen, or the wind may not have been judged perfectly across the canyon ect. an elk can go a long ways on one lung, and its really tough to find a blood trail with a pencil hole that didnt do much damage. On this cow elk the shot placement was great and i think she would have died within the hour, but i put another one through her anyways to make sure she didnt go anywhere. the second shot was a broadside shot. That bullet performed on how it should! My dads bull at 705 yards 210gr vld 300 RUM dropped the bull in the park slid 300 yards and didnt bleed a speck of blood! I searched the snow for one drop of blood and videoed it because im so interested in long range hunting as Broz is! He then followed up with a neck shot at 20 yards. The 338 Lapua 300gr. bullet was a Hybrid OTM Tactical with lot #4352, maybe thats the problem but correct me if im wrong Broz is using a 215gr. tactical and getting outstanding performance. and i dont believe he would be getting near the energy on his 1250+ yard antelope as this bear would have at 1,152 yards. Ya I agree with BowhuntWhities, that I wont quit shooting Berger, but if the new Noslers are what they say they are, might not be a bad idea doing some testing with those as well! Yes Eric, Thanks for getting involved in a forum since i know you have your irons in the fire and you are a big company! I appreciate your feedback as well! [/QUOTE]
