[QUOTE="clownbuster, post: 1758284, member: 22486"] This year I had a Berger 6.5 140 gr from my SAUM blow up on a trophy mule deer's shoulder at 500 yards (this bullet's sweet-spot), with my brother watching the shot thru the spotter. Up until this year, I've never had an issue taking game with them, but Ive ALWAYS tucked it in right behind the shoulder, never into the shoulder. Made me sick. Lesson learned. I've had this conversation with [USER=23509]@Elk Hunter 338[/USER] in the past. I'll spare you the details, but him and his crew are no joke when it comes to shooting big trophy game. And they either had personally, or witnessed enough Berger VLD failures on game to where he dosen't use their hunting bullets anymore. I've been a BIG Berger fan-boy for years, still am, but I may be developing a different load for next season. [/QUOTE]
