[QUOTE="Broz, post: 823843, member: 7503"] I can not speak personally for a moose taken with 180 HVLD's. But can attest for being present for many bull elk taken with them at both near and far distances. I am using Bergers in all my hunting rifles now. I apply for a moose tag every year and have no plans on changing bullets if I draw my once in a lifetime tag. If you have doubts about how they truly work, read the thread below. I gathered data for the Berger 215 on 19 big game kills from antelope to many elk at lots of different distances. All the same bullets and same rifle in one season. Impact data and terminal performance photos are all there to see for yourself. I do not wish to sway you to use any bullet. But instead provide you with actual pictures and data of how they really work and if they will work to your approval. I agree with the behind the shoulder placement. But what has been left out so far in this discussion is what could happen at longer distances. In this thread you will see where we had at least a few instances where bullet placement was less than perfect and the design of the Berger bullets saved our butts. Follow up shots were chambered but never needed. Also know that with longer distances where velocity, and chances for perfect placement fade, you will see increased chances of a complete pass through with a Berger. And when the Bergers pass through at these distances on Elk, I can tell you the exit holes will be far greater than a non-expanding bullets. You are gathering data, and that is good, I too say go with what you trust to do the job. I hope some of this data help you to make a decision that is right for you.
