As a meat hunter, on the prairies I am sitting on the fence regarding using Berger bullets for deer hunting. Their legendary accuracy is a big plus. Reading that they enter the rib cage and then explode blowing the lungs to jelly, implies to me that if you hit a leg bone or shoulder blade, you essentially loose that entire quarter of meat. I prefer shooting the yearlings and fawns for the quality of their meat, making those bullets a tad too destructive. I can see Bergers being used for trophy hunting, since meat then is of secondary importance, or when it is imperative that the animal does not run into the thick bush or of a particular property etc. Please correct me if I am wrong.
