[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1561819, member: 85306"] My experience with Berger's out if my .300 weatherby mag has been a libe hate relationship. First I have shot 3 whitetail deer one doe and two bucks all broad side at sub 120 yard shots with 185gr Berger classic hunter around 3135 fps. Only one buck recovered the other a year after found his rack 3/4 mile from where he was shot 700 yards from last blood spot when he doubled back (bad story). Needless to say all great the hits heavy blood and even bone fragments on the trail. Seems that the bullets did not stay together at close range just fraged after striking bone. Another buck I won't count same shot placement I took down with my 357 mag when he ran by but I knew that was going to happen when I shot him. This year I went to the 185 juggernaut (I know a match bullet) and took a buck at 487 yards head shot in between eyes and had minimal damage to back side of cranial and his doe at 519 yards with a neck shot much better on the soft tissue grievous damage to the neck. I shoot many deer with 180 grain accubond and PowerPoint never made it past 20 yards of even left their tracks. Trying the 210 accubond LR this year in 2019. Lot to be said with terminal ballistics speed, range, tissue or bone and target weight versus bullet weight. [/QUOTE]
