I don't like the amount of lead that can get in the meat from Bergers. Other bullets if all the blood shot meat is trimmed it is usually fine, with Bergers even some meat that washed up fine still had lead fragments in it. They do kill fast but now there are so many other choices for higher BC bullets like the ELDs and LRAB I go for a more controlled expanding bullet when available. But most of the game I take is at relatively close range, typically 300 yds. or less. If all my shots were at extended ranges then I would re-consider the Berger.
