[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2351214, member: 66917"] The Berger target bullets are actually harder than their hunting bullets. The jackets are thicker to resist hot barrels that happen during rapid fire target events. Look at their website. It explains it. I have used a target hybrid on Coues deer and it was deviating even at +600 yards. What likely happened is the shooter hit high and back in the no man's land area. Above the lungs on the thoracic side of the diaphragm and the bullet did no not expand properly. They will bleed very little and run off every time. It happens with hard bullets like monos a lot because rifle shooters in the US aim too high and too far back commonly. If you aim like an Archer for the center of the heart lung you'll loose a lot less deer. If that bullet would have penciled through the heart you'd be eating venison. [/QUOTE]
