140gr Berger Elite Hunter issue. Anyone experience this?

[Idaho Lefty]

I have seen burgers hitting elk at under 300 yards dead center sholder penetrating to off side. Dead on the spot. In the last 20+ years have not had a bad experience with them . Shooting 7 mm 28 nosler and 6.5 SAUM.

140gr Berger elite hunter out of a 6.5prc. Hunting Cow elk but also had an either sex mule deer tag. Shot a doe at 110 yards. Perfectly through the ribs. Dropped like a stone. When I opened her up the entire internal cavity had been scrambled. Bullet came apart and the concussion combined with bullet fragments tore through the diaphragm. Gut material, plant bits and the like had sucked out the exit hole. I found gut material forced into the meat along the spine. Exit wound was the size of a quarter. Has anyone experienced this? Bullet was right behind the shoulders right through the middle. Scared to use these again if they do anything similar. Appreciate any thoughts. thanks

Yup same thing last two weeks ago. Boy was shooting 6mm 115gn- so slightly smaller destruction, but they do terrible damage and drop them on the spot almost every time. Only had one big buck made it about 25 yards, only cause the wife center punched the liver. The biggest piece of liver I found was a size of a golf ball.

I am sure they would not work at all. But those thin skin maggots are tougher than most people give them credit for. They also taste like dirt.

I've had several people tell me they were fantastic! Brother in law went to Sweeden, said it was the best steak he ever had
