[QUOTE="Moe02, post: 707967, member: 55841"] To the smart *** post i just want to say this. I have no reason or anything to gain by lying or misleading anyone (In fact I have learned a lot reading on this forum and respect the opinons that are posted on here). Second I am not trying to bash Berger bullets. I just wanted to know if anyone had similar results. Idealy I can figure out what im doing wrong and get these to preform on game like others experiance. I spent a lot of time to get these to shoot well for me and confirm my drop chart. Now with that said I did find the 3 bullets recovered in the elk i shot. I have never posted a picture so hopefully this will work. Now the bullet on the far left is lead only, the middle pic is just the jacket only and the far right bullet has a little led and jacket. I thought that these where the jacket only with no lead but after finding them and looking closer that is not the case so I appologive for not accuratly stating this. The weights of these are 64.1 grains, 43.8 grains and 55.4 grains respectively. Dose this look like what others have seen once the recover the bullet from game? To the Elk after the first shot I knew I had hit him and he only walked 30 yards and stoped. I think that he probubly was badly hurt and possibly would have died. however at 600 yards away on another ridge I was not going to take the chance of him getting away and I continued to shoot unitl he went down. I can tell you for a fact that enter holes and exit holes where no bigger than that dime in the picture. The internal damage of the Elk was better than on the Deer but still not good. To the Deer after the first shot he still continued down the canyon and later bedded down after being shot again. i waited to shoot again because i thought he would die however after watching him he was way to alert and this wasnt going to happen at least any time soon. he got up and i shot until he went down. all bullets went compleatly through enter and exit holes no bigger then a dime and less internal damage then the elk. I do agree that its hard to beleive that a deer or elk could take a pounding like that behind the front sholder and live pensil holing or not. I may not belive it if i was not there. [/QUOTE]
