[QUOTE="paphil, post: 585826, member: 17745"] I just had a 7mm 168 berger with the opposite problem. One of the youth hunters for our tv shoot got a whitetail buck at 275 yards and there was no expansion . It was a double lung shot and the deer ran about 80 yards and jumped a fence and piled up about 20 yards past the fence. I had my doubts as to whether the deer was even hit. When we skinned the deer , the wound looked like it was made with a target arrow! It went between the ribs both entry and exit and apparently never expanded at all. The lungs just had a neat little hole punched right through them. I've harvested a lot of different animals with bergers and this is the first time one has failed to expand but the failure to hit bone or dense muscle are probably why. Some guns with cut rifleing and tight bores can cause bergers to heat up and disentergrate thus the two versions of hunting and target. If the hunting bullets don't work in your gun, try the target bullets with the thicker jackets. [/QUOTE]
