[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 898590, member: 68255"] I'm new to elk hunting and haven't shot a bull, yet. I shoot a 300 win mag and probably won't be shooting over 500 yards. I've read a lot of reviews on many different forums by guys that swear by Barnes TTSX, Nosler AB, Nosler Partitions, Sierra Gamekings and a LOT of testimonials on this forum about the Berger 210, 215 and 230. Broz, I've read your post about the 210 and 230 Bergers. At this point I think I would like to get a bullet that has most of the penetration of the Barnes and a lot of expansion like the Berger. That perfect combination of penetration and expansion. Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm going to try some 180 gr Sierra Gamekings when I get my rifle back in January. I posted this question in the thread about the Berger failure on elk, but didn't get any response. Am I making a mistake with the Sierras if they will shoot accurately in my rifle??? Are either the Nosler ABs or the Berger 210 or 215 a LOT better than the Sierra GameKings on elk??? What about mule deer??? I may try to arrange an elk/mule deer combo next fall. [/QUOTE]
