[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 357832, member: 8"] I shoot a 240 Wby with a Berger 115 VLD. It is wicked fast and accurate. The 115 will penetrate from here to the other side of the mountain. One evening for a "trick shot", I put that Berger through a full grown boar hog and then completely through the adult sow that was standing alongside and behind him. That's about 36 inches of some of the toughest critter on the earth. That shot was made at 550 yards. I would not hesitate to take on the largest elk walking the face of the earth at 600 yards with that rifle and bullet from any angle the elk would give me. I do not actually hunt elk with that rifle being as I have several other toys to play with during elk season. My suggestion is move up from the 105 Berger to the 115 Berger for elk. Use the 105 for antelope and deer, although I commonly shoot antelope and deer with the 115 myself. That's because I am simple minded and cannot always remember to take the right box of bullets if I have too many choices. :D Lots of people like the 243 AI and it seems really accurate from the few times I have seen someone shooting one at long range [/QUOTE]
