Well the "point" you're arguing makes no sense. Exit wounds are a good thing. They help you discharge your ethical responsibilities as a hunter, and as a practical matter make sure you get the meat. Similarly, making sure your bullet makes it to the heart and back lung is a good thing. Doing both requires a certain level of penetration, which in turn requires a certain level of sectional density and weight retention.

Many popular bullets have these desirable properties. Berger does not. So why precisely would anyone want to use the Bergers? They like losing game? It's not like the better designed bullets are hard to get - heck, they're far more common than the failure-plagued Bergers.
