So your argument is, since even the A-frame did not exit......the frangible VLD is a better application on heavier-boned game?

I have yet to hear a single reason why one would want to use the failure prone Bergers instead of the many reliable bullets that are readily available.

Used a 270 gr Swift A-Frame from my .375 H&H on this blue wildebeest and the bullet did not exit. The shot was around 100-125 yds away.

Guess we were lucky to even recover it,since there was no exit wound for it to bleed out from.
