I’ve never shot a Berger at an animal. I did use the older Nosler Ballistic Tip 150’s in my 7mm RM to kill a few elk & then hit a decent 5x6 broadside at 250 & had the bullet blow up on the ribs with a palm sized entry wound. Luckily lots of snow & the shrapnel in his lung killed him after 600 yards. Without snow no sure thing recovery.
