Confused on 7mm bullets for elk

i personallhy shoot a 7mmwsm shooting the 180 bergers and i have been very pleased. i have shot deer from 100 yards out to 900 yards. the only time i was questioning my bergers was 2 years ago when i was shooting 168s i shot a buck at 525 it was a slight down hill shot. i hit him on the sholder and he droped. when i went up to get him he was still alive. after looking at my bullet hole i hit lower than i wanted. that is why i switched to the 180s. here is the buck tht i shot with the bergers this year he was jsut under300 i shot him right behind the sholder and he made it a few steps. the next picture is me holding my dads deer from this year and he shot that with my 6.5x284 shooting 130 accubonds. i also load accubonds for my brother in his 270 shortmag. that thing is a desimator. point being i have videos of hunts with numerous berger kills that are drt and i have some with the accubonds. shoot what you feel is the best in your rifle. i would hope that no one would think these arent good examples of bullet performance on a couple good bucks.
