Bullet Failure?

[Forkyfinder]

Berger specifically. And yeah, I have used them. First ones in 2006. And before you ask, I have no interest in Hornady bullets.

All good - i was wondering if it were bergers or matchkings.

Dating myself but Matchkings were the darling of LR years ago. For me long range killing isn't a thing I am interested in anymore. I wised up. mtmuley

I have started using game kings I don’t shoot enough animals for statistical analysis but I like them so far.

I talked to Steve. He’s wondering if the twist rate of my rifle is too slow to stabilize the bullet. It’s a M70 Featherweight I got off Gunbroker so I’ll measure the twist and see if that was the issue.

Is it a factory barrel punched to AI or a custom rebarrel?
If it’s factory it’s probably a 1:10 and not enough twist.

Custom Rebarrel.

That bullet was going quite fast at 85 yards (probably 2800+) - basically any bullet designed for hunting should be expanding and shedding energy into the target.

Well that’s exactly what I meant by “I’m kinda surprised that happened in your case”. I guess I should have spelled that out.

I was not aware of any Berger offerings that were “all lead”.

Another failed bullet dug out of a dead animal? No bullet is 100%
