I have never used a Berger to hunt with. Tried a few in a remington 260 but thats it. My big game rifle of choice is a 7mm remington mag. My question to all who like the Bergers is this. With how the bullet is supposed to work ( penetrate a few inches then come apart) would you take a shot at a bull elk that is quartering to you, I am leary of not getting the penetration into the vitals. Or if the elk is quartering away hard will the way the bullets fragments would it travel far enough forward to hit the vitals. I am NOT trying to put this bullet down, I want honest answers. This is the reason why I have not tried this bullet, I don't want a crippled animal. Now I know every scenario is different but I have bow hunted enough and passed on enough bad facing animals to know it happens. I do know that with a TTSX Barnes, a Accubond or Partition in the above described scenarios you could shoot and not worry. Your thoughts on the Berger??
