Szihn has made the exploding claim many times on the Campfire, and other people with plenty of experience using Bergers have contested his claim, having never seen this surface "explosion" he mentions. In fact, when field-testing Bergers in New Zealand on their over-abundant feral goats, I TRIED to get one to explode--by shooting a big billy that had just been killed in the shoulder joint at 10 feet. The bullet was a 168 .30 VLD, and it poked the same tiny hole into the shoulder before expanding inside. On the same hunt, my wife also head-shot a fallow deer doe in the head, at the request of the camp cook. Same deal: Tiny entrance hole--though the exit was good-sized.
Yet he keeps telling the world about how Bergers explode on impact.
