[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1291888, member: 12995"] I beg to differ... 100 yards with a .257 Wby on a whitetail doe, vitals (rib) shot, factory loaded Wby ammo with a 110 NAB... Pencil through, no expansion, ran nearly 100 yards, but shot placement took out both lungs, and she finally pumped dry, and it was nearly dark, so we almost didn't find her. Had the same thing happen to 1 Berger VLD (deer fell in it's tracks DRT), and 1 Barnes (original) Triple-Shock hollow point (ran for a while, but deer was recovered). Had a Hornady SST explode on impact on a deer (also had to track forever, but recovered it). Also had a 140 SST disintegrate in mid-air from a 7mmRM while sighting in at the range. Had a lot of anomalies happen to me, but this seems to be the norm for everything in my life. :rolleyes: I still prefer the Bergers to the rest, and my go-to deer load is 168 VLD's @ 3,115 MV from my 7mmRM.
