Hunting & Fishing 105gr berger hybrids for whitetail

[stoney15]

Anyone use them. They shot awesome from my 243ai but I am wondering how they perform on game. Here's how they group at 285 yards. The small boxes are 1/4 inch.

I have only used the 105VLDH on one antelope from a standard 243win, 8 twist Bartlein at 24". Speed IIRC was 2850 or so.
420 yards quartering to me, hit point of shoulder and exited in front of the off-side "rear shoulder". That's about 28" of animal it went through.
Not exactly what you are looking for but after seeing those results, I would not hesitate poking a deer with one.

Question: "Will ________ bullet work for hunting?"

Answer: "yes, if you shoot him in the right spot."


Apply this to any/all of these questions.

Leave it to Coldboremiracle to interject common sense into a heated debate...

Took a ram at 100 yards with one out of my 243 going 3050 FPS. Took two steps and folded. Like said above it all depends on shot placement with thin skinned game.

They worked great for us many times. 850 yards out of a 243AI

Love them. Internals looked like they went through a blender.
