[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1317357, member: 73428"] Had the chance to witness first hand what a 6.5 berger does to whitetails launched at 2850 FPS last year in camp. 4 out of 4. no exits. ranges from 40-350 yards. most shots being behind the crease, one was direct shoulder, and the last was a bad gut shot. Most of them went down within 50 yards of being shot, but very very little blood trails. Where we hunt its so thick it can be a challenge finding them even if they only run 25-100 yards. I attribute that to obviously only one hole and being such a small bullet the hole plugging up with meat/fat. I would take a closer look into the ABLR if you hunt in thick steep terrain where blood trailing may be a factor. [/QUOTE]
