Any of you ever use the 200 grain Hybrids from Berger?
My buddy was getting ready for his limited entry mule deer hunt in Utah and I gave him a box of 200 grain Bergers for his 300 WBY as there were no bullets to be had. We found a load that shot about .5 MOA at 3000 fps and held well out to 500 yds or so, the limit at which he shot it.
To make a long story short, he shot a deer this week and the bullet disintegrated and didn't penetrate. Biggest pieces of bullet were fingernail sized. He has not used Bergers before this point and is very sour on them now. He made a send shot on the buck and killed it- slow lingering death but the first shot would have taken a long time to do the job.
Anyone else ever had this happen?
My experiences with them have been good!
