Thats why I'm on my Berger kick right now...loading them for my .243 AI, .270 win and 7mm Rem mag. They penetrate 2-3 inches then shed their jacket and deposit all their energy inside the animal, not in the tree behind the animal. They look good on video, ballistics gel (even Barnes tests results) and reports, so hopefully they work as good as advertised...
