If you go back to the original post I had, I am talking high velocity, frangible bullets, not neccesarily a Berger. Go back and read the history of the 280 Ross and the lion hunters that were mauled and killed.

John,
I'm glad no offense and do understand you like the Bergers and are very successful with them. I guess if we go back 28 pages to the original question, I would rather have anything then nothing if faced with the situation described. IMHO though, I would want a bullet that has a proven track record, controlled expansion and retained weight.

Someone earlier mentioned the study done years ago by a couple of guys from I believe it was Federal Fish and Wildlife. I have it in an old Outdoor Life Book and it is a good read. Love to see the findings now with the bullets on the market, but one thing that was there is that the high velocity rounds did not fair well, with bullet technology today, I am sure the results may change a bit.
