I have just recently started shooting Bergers and my son shot his first elk with one in a 7mm Rem Mag. He was shooting uphill at a broadside bull at about 80 yards, and the bullet hit him in the upper chest area, and glanced off the back bone, and then come back down and the bullet ended up about straight across from the entrance hole. We couldn't find the main bullet, but found about 15 different pieces of the fragmented bullet.
I was told that Berger's held their weight very well after great penetration.
My question is do you think the many fragments were due to hitting the backbone, or is that the way that Bergers perform? I was a little concerned at the amount of pieces I found.
