[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 1835759, member: 109801"] I shot a cow elk with 115gr Bergers from a 257 weatherby about 5 years ago. It was about 260 yards. The first shot was a clean double lung, but the cow didn't react like it was hit and trotted off about 30 yards and looked around. I jacked a 2nd round and hit lung and far side front shoulder on a 1/4ing away shot. She went about 10 yards and dropped. I didn't need the 2nd shot, but I didn't know that til we found 2 entry holes in her. Neither exited. The off side shoulder on the 2nd shot though did have some.bloodshot meat. Not to bad though. I have either shot or been there first hand for 6 berger kills. 4 cow elk, and 2 mule deer. None went more than about 40 yards after a solid hit. That said, I will only lung shoot with Bergers. No shoulders. They are not heavily constructed and scare me on shoulders. [/QUOTE]
