[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1333068, member: 87243"] I will say that I have seen elk soak up 3 hits with a 300 win mag at pretty close range and act nearly unphased, and take over a minute to go down...elk are just tough creatures. I hear sheep can be too, though I have no experience. I have also seen them get hit with a 130 grain out of a .270 and drop in their tracks, both with similar hunting bullets. Not trying to denote your experience at all, but sometimes strange things just happen in hunting scenarios. I have had good experience with my Bergers while hunting, but then again I have only shot one animal under 440 yards with them, and my farthest was 925. The one close shot was a doe mule deer at 80 yards with a 185 VLD out of a .308 going 2650. But, performance on that animal was good. The farther shots was out of a .260 AI. [/QUOTE]
