[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2197764, member: 113278"] I’ve elk hunted with my custom 300WSM shooting 185 grain Berger’s, no success on trying them on elk tho but I had faith in them. Now that’s speaking for a shot that doesn’t hit the massive leg bone. My friend shot a mature cow with his 7mm Rem mag at 75 yards quartering toward him. The 168 grain Berger hit her front left shoulder bone and rolled up in a ball on it! I was very surprised and luckily she stopped at 400 yards to see what happened. That bullet struck her high in the shoulder breaking her back, of course dry! I wouldn’t hesitate to use the same bullets and calibers again but experience is knowledge and I’d just be alert that the Berger’s may not plow thru heavy bone like expected. Same shot angle and bullet speed no bullet may perform as expected! Just what I experienced. [/QUOTE]
