[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 697395, member: 505"] Phorwath, Your experience is no different than everyone else in our hunting group down here. With all the cow tags we get to see 30+ elk kills per year some years. Some days 5+ per day depending on how many are hunting together. Several guys went through the berger bullet phase with many bad experiences on elk. No person in our group with the number of elk kills we see currently shoots Berger bullets. A bullet that has a history of blowing into a zillion pieces is not a good choice for big tough elk. Mike, I like your dad's quote. My sentiments exactly. I think he and I would get along very well. I personally have never seen overkill either. If I could afford one of KiwiGregs big rifles I wouldn't mind trying it. With my technical degrees I have enough credit hours in math and physics alone for a bachelors degree. It defies physics that a Barnes bullet that retains near 100% of it's weight would stop in an elk shoulder while a thin jacket fragile target type bullet that sheds it's jacket and loses virtually all it's weight would blow right through the elk and have perfect performance every time. In over 40 years of hunting I have found the opposite to be true which follows along with what physics would indicate. I have seen untold numbers of animals taken with barnes bullets with the same dependable blow through performance every time. That includes through both shoulders of grizzly, bison, elk, deer, antelope, sheep, moose, caribou, etc. About anything a guy could test them on. I am not on here preaching for a guy to use any particular bullet. I am not going to make a dollar no matter what a guy buys in this industry. I just show results of my experiences because those experiences are extensive and may help someone out with less opportunity for testing. Thin jacket lead core bullets shed their weight faster than Oprah on a crash diet. [/QUOTE]
