[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 483911, member: 7194"] I have a lot of experiance with the bergers and like them for whitetails and antelope. I want something a little tougher for larger game. Just because you have a rifle capable of long range and plan on shooting an animal at long range does not mean that your shot at a trophy is going to be further than 30 feet. I will take a 30 foot shot on a whitetail with a 168 or 180 berger in a 7mm with a WSM. I would probably pass on an elk unless standing exactly broadside. We all want those broadside shots but sometimes the animals do not cooperate. If I was spending 10K on a hunt I would forego a little BC for a tougher bullet. I have shot whotetails from nearly stem to stern with a 180 7mm Begrer at 300 plus yards but have also seen them penetrate less that 20 inches on very close shots. 20 inches sounds like a lot until your trying to shoot through a big grass filled paunch to get to lungs.
