[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1556154, member: 104363"] 180 Berger vld hunting, 7mm RM, 2920 fps, young elk, 300 pounds or so. I was shooting on a down angle, animal quartering to me. Took a shot path thru left neck shoulder junction and an exit out the opposite (right side) lung. Result was DRT. However: Bullet fragged on shoulder/neck strike, turned 30 degrees and went thru near side (left) lung, liver and gut in teeny tiny pieces. Think #8 birdshot. Bullet completely destroyed. And that folks is why I switched to 175 Nosler Accubond LR so I can drive one a little straighter like I intended and exit somewhere near I intended. Bergers will kill them, but frag on bone strikes to the point you might have unintended gut soup to clean out. I havent hit another animal with Accubond yet as I haven't drawn a tag since that one.
