You're just saying good bullet performance is obsolete because otherwise you'd have to admit the performance of Berger bullets is pathetic. You're flailing grin


He didn't say wanting that version of bullet performance was obsolete. He meant that defining as a failure anything other than that version was obsolete.


Well then enlighten us - with my 175gr A-Frames in 7mm, I've always gotten expansion and always gotten an exit wound. 100%. With Bergers, I've NEVER seen one produce an exit wound unless the bullet failed to expand at all. I've never even seen a picture of the mythical one that worked right.

So with bullet A, you always get what you want. With bullet B, you never do. How is preferring the one that works "obsolete"? Or are you saying that having a blood trail to follow in the unfortunate circumstance that you need to track a wounded animal is "obsolete"? Inquiring minds want to know!
