[QUOTE="Havard, post: 1785894, member: 107374"] Last year my youngest son was hunting with a friend on his place and shot his 1st buck with a 6.5CM, 143ELD-X factory load. Shot was 40yds. Long story short, we never found a single drop of blood but did find the deer in a thicket outside of the field during squirrel season. I worked up a load for him with a 135 Classic Hunter with hopes it would perform as advertised; dump its energy on impact and hopefully avoid similar results with the ELD-X (no tracking). A few weeks ago, he shot a doe standing at the same 40yd spot, same 6.5CM but with the Berger. The results are shown here. No tracking required. I’m NOT knocking the ELD-X at all; but will highlight the Berger did it’s job. I’m a run what-cha brung kinda guy and don’t see all the hate on another Hunter if they like something different to be honest. So I guess you could say I’m a Berger supporter now!! Couple of things I can say about Berger that I experienced; 1) it will kill at close range 2) it will exit 3) it didn’t totally damage the meat 4) it will put PepperJack / Pineapple smoked sausage on the Green Egg. I LOVE PepperJack / Pineapple sausage so... 5) them suckers will make a fine group on paper! 6) they made a Berger supporter out of my 12 yr old son [/QUOTE]
