[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2252606, member: 75779"] I'm the same way about group size. Having shot elk, let me say the elk is a MUCH larger animal than a deer. On a broadside shot, you can kill the animal reliably if you put it inside of a pizza pan diameter. This is not prairie dog hunting. AND we forget that a 4" group is only a 2" deviation from point of aim. Rl15 gave me more speed than varget and had equal accuracy... something to consider. My group all killed bulls quickly with Berger bullets. The 168 was used in the 308. It went thru the onside shoulder and exited the offside pit on a 6x6 at 408 yards. Dead in 20 yards. I personally don't like the barnes bullets for moderately fast rounds and extended distances. There's a strong likelihood they pencil thru. An accubond, partition, lighter weight hammer, or heavier SST(180) gets my vote. [/QUOTE]
