[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2350913, member: 83259"] I’m a big Berger fan but one thing that has to be noted is every different bullet line and weight/caliber/hunting/target etc act a little different on game. The LRHT line does have a smaller meplat then the other target hybrids. The 215 and 230 hybrid along with the 230 OTM are proven killers. The new 208 and 220 LRHT I’m not sure if there is a ton of info out there on how they do on game. The smaller meplat and Im not 100% but I don’t believe the cavity is as deep as some of the older target hybrids but these things could cause less expansion. This is just speculation, I know of some kills with the 153.5 and 144 lrht bullets this year and they worked just fine. But people have a tendency to lump all Berger bullets into one category when they really shouldn’t. Pick one with a proven track record and shoot a bunch of game with one you like and draw your one conclusions on how they act with different shot placements and impact velocity’s. [/QUOTE]
