Berger 6mm 90 gr hpbt terminal performance

[Homerange]

I would not recommend this bullet for deer size game.

A curious why ?
Just because it is a target projectile or something else ?

Barefooter is BERGER...that's why we are baffled.

My dyslexia kicked in . I was thinking of the .224 cal 90GR bullet. My bad.

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

Ahh yes, that would make more sense. I don't shoot anything with heavy 22 cal bullets so my mind didn't even go there.

THANKS, Plumsask for, the Tip,.. on the 87 gr. Berger, H-VLD's !
WOW,. they kill like,.. "the Hammer of Thor",.. on 2 Big, desert Muleys !
My 14 y/o Grandson,.. LOVES them, in his .243 Win Tikka !

The Berger Target has a Heavier thicker Jacket than the Hunting bullet and may not break up or expand in a broadside shot.

Thanks but I wanted to hear what member doctorh had to say on this matter.

many bullets will not reach the target. the 88 is a great bullet but if you push it you will have it blow. so far the 87 has held up, too.
the 90 has always been reliable for dogs.

At what speed are these coming apart? And how does bbl heat effect this?

At what speed are these coming apart? And how does bbl heat effect this?

Anything that can cause excessive heat and friction to a bullet can cause it to come apart on the way to the target. A few examples of this are , Velocities approaching or exceeding 3400 FPS, Bullet RPMS approaching or exceeding 300,000 RPM. Barrel length over 28 inches, Excessive barrel twist rate, BARREL CONDITION IE throat cracking, copper and carbon fouling , chipped lands.
Long bullets seem to be more susceptible to destruction than short flat base bullets.
