[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 2971186, member: 67530"] My experience is absolutely limited to one Berger bullet, and I have heard so much bad said about it, but it has been great for me without fail for well over twenty deer, and several elk. A well placed shot as the one pictured above results in minimal meat damage. I absolutely hunt for meat, so when I find something that works I have a tendency to stick with it. I've shot elk out to 980, and deer at 625 all the way into less than 100 yards. Almost every time, I do remember one deer running around 50 yards, it's bang flop, and that includes critters at distance. No elk has gotten out of sight after being shot, and neither has a whitetail. Berger 7mm 195 grain EDL Elite Hunters at the mild velocity of 2960 out of my 28 Nosler have been fantastic. I can run them up to 3300 fps without pressure, but accuracy is absolutely best at the lower velocity. I shoot suppressed so recoil and noise are not an issue, and with the tamer load I'm guessing my barrel will last a bit longer, but I only shoot it at game so, it will probably outlast me anyway.
