Outfitters banning bergers?!

The “hunting” Bergers are just the original think jacket .

I think it is expecting something that won't happen. I quoted someone who said they saw "pinholes" with them and seemed to write in a disappointed manner. They break apart and cause a lot of damage; anything that exits will be a tiny hole that probably won't be noticed or assumed to be a bullet that didn't expand. If I am expecting to catch an intact mushroomed slug anything else is probably viewed as a failure despite a dead something. When folks see that "failure" and then remember they or someone they knew didn't recover an animal at some point with that bullet, they assume that the bullet sucked rather than the shot placement.

I think this is huge. I see this all the time on Facebook groups. People kill (kill!) stuff with ELD-Xs then complain because they didn't make a pretty mushroom like a Barnes TTSX at 50 yards. Then say they will never use them again because they didn't work. All the while talking about an animal that virtually dropped in its tracks. WTF?! The lack of critical reasoning skills in the general populace today is appalling.

Exactly. This always cracks me up. “I wasn’t impressed with how the bullet performed, there was core/jacket separation, we didn’t find much of the bullet” as we field dressed the animal. Seriously? WTF? Just a sign of group think and our society these days.

Yeah but hit a deer below the knee it still won’t kill him

Probably keep them bleeding tho....



Ah damn, you probably ain't been around long enough to get that.

The way I look at it, it’s the guides job to get you infront of your target animal. Once you’re on the rifle then it’s up to you. I’m taking the bullet that gives me the most confidence, typically that’s a Berger. If they wouldn’t let me then I’d find a different outfitter

I know guys who lost elk in archery season to others.


It's a jungle out there, goes to the first who is sitting on them, mostly.

You can kill game with anything, but it's up to the outfitter to decide what their bar is. It's hard to fault their experience. If you don't like it, pick an outfitter you agree with.
