This rifle shoots tipped fusions and berger hybrids the same poi to a decent distance. So wanted to see what the Bergers can do for myself. Although I was impressed with results of a quartering away shot, placed behind leg... i really couldnt aee using them for more than deer and blackbear. Even out of a magnum offering. The 270win 140gr berger hybrid did pass through. But holy potatoes. Looks like a pencil hole in hide in pic but the meat side is almost a twoonie. Exit carnage about 2.5 inch hole. Missed heavy bone on way out
Well done ABB! How far was the shot?
I have seen those Bergers do extreme damage, yes.
