[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1758233, member: 33822"] I’ve shot a lot of elk with Berger bullets and had several explode leaving no blood trail and very difficult searches. Usually end up dead, but in thick timber and brushy country it can make it very difficult to find an animal even if they die within a short distance. Hunt in open country and not as big of a deal. Had another Berger tumble and ride sideways like a banana on a large bear, who jumped into a thicket preventing a follow up shot. That bear moaned for a good 20 minutes before it expired. Had another Berger that penciled straight through, verified by a small amount of blood on the exit. Perfect double lung shot. That elk got away. Very high percentage failure rate. I don’t hunt with them anymore. I have not found a more accurate bullet but I have found others to be more lethal. we all have our own experiences! [/QUOTE]
