[QUOTE="cross, post: 1629174, member: 8592"] I ran the 168 VLD Bergers for years on elk and due to all the hype moved to the the 180 Berger hybrids. Killed one smaller 6 point with them. He was quartering away at about 60 yards and I shot at the opposite shoulder, through the liver on the near side. He ran straight away from me for about 100 yards, never offering a chance for a good follow up shot. At the end of his run, he did a big Hi-O silver rear up and went over backwards, crashing down the hill. I didn’t gut him and saw no damage to any meat on his front end so the bullet never went into the ribs. I think I would have gotten more penetration with the 168s. Not for sure but I wasn’t super impressed with the 180 hybrids. My Dad shoots the 215s from his 300 Win and they’re awesome. [/QUOTE]
