Just curious how many animals you have killed with a Berger Bullet?
Also a Berger would be more like a Hard Boiled egg!?
Not a one.
From other's description's, a Berger sounds more like a raw egg, a Partition/Accubond/TBBC, etc, are more like hard boiled eggs, lol.
When I started big game hunting, I used a Partition. They always worked well.
I was reading an article in Precision Reloader way back in Feb 1992, and the author was testing various bullets using 223 rifles, including a 10" TC.
What caught my attention was when he shot the new Barnes, 45gr X bullet out of the 10" TC, getting 2,600fps. He shot into ballistic gelatin at 100yds, and each time a Barnes X hit the 10lb block, the block would expand so violently it would knock the other block off the table. No other bullet, at any speed, did that. After the 4th time, the author separated the blocks even more.
I had been using my 22Hornet for coyotes for about 3 years, and was getting a number of floppers and runners and, prior to Lilgun powder, it got about 2,600fps with a 45gr bullet.
After loading the 45gr X in my Hornet, I had a noticeable reduction in runners and floppers, with more 'bang-flops' than other bullets.
I was impressed enough that I used the 140gr X in my 270win that fall, on a cow elk. Shot was quartering towards me, range about 175yds, impact behind her left shoulder, exit behind her right hip. 6-8 steps and she is down. What is that, 4-5 feet?
I never had that penetration from a Partition, and I had been using only Partitions since my first big game hunt in 1970.
Since I started with Barnes in 1992, I have never recovered a bullet out of a big game animal. I had a chance once, when a buddy used an 85Gr TSX out of his Tikka 243 on a nice Mule Deer buck.
The shot, only one, was about 150yds, facing us, and just dropped at the impact. I did find the bullet went through the right lung, and I found bullet holes in the intestines. My buddy was going to use a hatchet to get though the ribs, and on the first strike, he whacks his left thumb, so as you can imagine, I did not have time to search through the intestines for the bullet.
He kept his thumb, and it works pretty good.
