[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1028145, member: 39303"] Ok, I'm nearly at that point of of dismissing bergers as a hunting bullet. My story, just moved out to CO this year and had a buddy hook me up with a 2nd rifle season cow elk tag. Bought a semi custom remington 700 in 7mm mag. My handload was a 168gr berger classic (hunting), pushed by 69gr of h1000 out of a 26 inch barrel. Ended up 297 yds from a large cow. I sent 3 rounds into the chest cavity before she fell over. My game warden buddy advised me to keep shooting until they stop moving. Anyways, as I approach her she hops up when I'm roughly 5 yards away and acts like she's gonna bolt up the mountain so I fire once more to finish her off. Everything in front of the diaphragm was liquefied and I never even saw any bullet fragments in her anywhere. But regardless from the first to the last shot there was roughly a ten minute window. I would really like to hear some firsthand accounts of berger performance. I really like the way they shoot just not how the animals don't die in a reasonable amount of time. [/QUOTE]
