[QUOTE="chickm1, post: 1758381, member: 49525"] Used Berger for the first time, this year. 7mm08, 140 gr VLD. Early out, I got a shot at a sow, and took it because I was unsure about the bullet. Squeezed off. and she rolled over, but began to squirm and flip around. Directly, she got up and hit the woods. I walked down, and could hear a raspy breathing maybe 25 yards into the tree line. I backed off and waited. My JRT hit the trail, stuck his nose up, spun around and went rit to the hog. The bullet hit square on the side of the head, between the eye and ear, 3/4" down, but did not penetrate the skull. It deflected and traveled down through the neck and came out through the bottom of the chest, between chest and right shoulder. I have never had a bullet not penetrate the skull. I shot a boar at the same distance (100yds) last year with a 22 Mag,, and it penetrated the skull. That evening I shot another sow, at approx the same distance, and it looked like dynamite had blown up in her head. I have shot another sow and buck since then, with good results. Just a freak bullet/accident? I don't know. [/QUOTE]
