[QUOTE="PantherMike, post: 2729176, member: 125936"] I realize this is a Berger Bullet thread however, I wanted to share an odd and unpredictable story along the ideas of retained weight. Round about 1992, I was sitting in a cold November blind with my Cousin. My tags were filled so I was along the ride in a support role. His rifle was a 700 BDL, 300 Winchester Magnum shooting Remington 150gr PSP Core Lokt. An eight point Buck slipped in behind us and we waited what seemed to be an eternity for it to make its way down to where he could raise the rifle and take the shot at 60 yards. Bang, the Buck dropped and started flopping. I said shoot him again and he did. Shot#1- Center chest behind front leg***NO EXIT WOUND Shot#2- Back/Spine just below base of neck***NO EXIT WOUND There was major fragmentation destruction inside the cavity. Who would have ever thought that this would be the performance of a specialty core bullet? I have no opinion or explanation as to why the bullet turned into a grenade, simply relating an actual experience where a deep penetration projectile didn't penetrate deep. [/QUOTE]
