By the way, I also get chest cavity soup.
Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement

Why? What's the negative result of complete internal destruction?

Nothing!

But the ENTIRE thread is about hunting with Berger bullets, of which by your own admission you have zero experience with nor do you mention them. Interesting to see you get upset when you took the discussion off topic and were questioned about it. Have a better day!

Nothing!

Except for meat damage, and sometimes penetration. Which may or may not matter to you.

Damage is the #1 goal.

Damage is the #1 goal.

That depends on the application. Culling or crop damage permits, sure. Grocery shopping for meat in the freezer is another story, and there, it's a compromise between vital damage and meat preservation. If I'm looking for meat, I'm not interested in going full Saving Private Ryan with the sticky bomb on my critters, but I also want to recover said critter, so I'm also not interested in FMJ penciling.

If you're hunting for meat just don't shoot the parts with meat you want to consume

In practice away from the Internet, that's sometimes easier said than done if you're intent on getting meat.

Good grief the excuses some people make.

No one is losing a substantial amount of meat unless you are shooting them in the ass.

Who is “no one”?

I’ve guided enough hunters and killed enough of my own critters to know that your statement is certainly not true.

I’ve used, and continue to use, match bullets like the VLD, ELD-M, etc., for certain applications, but they’re definitely not a do-all bullet design.

What’s acceptable meat loss to one can be an unacceptable loss to another.
