[QUOTE="hhack, post: 1137166, member: 52715"] I had a similar experience as yours with a 270 wsm shooting the 130 gr berger hunters. Shot a nice muley through the front shoulder, in fresh snow. I tracked it for 300 yards to a place where the blood clotted and he stopped bleeding. Shot was only 100 yards and I had never had anything wounded get away until this happened. The very next day I shot another deer through the front shoulders and the chase was on. He went 4 miles until I caught up to him again and shot him through the lungs. The Hole through the front shoulders was such a pin hole that it didn't even damage meat on either front shoulder and it went through both. I changed some things after this experience first, was I stopped shooting bergers for hunting, even though they were the most accurate bullets I had shot in my hunting rifle. Second, I don't aim at the front shoulder anymore. I went back to double lung shots. I haven't had a bad experience since. [/QUOTE]
