[QUOTE="str8shoot, post: 511613, member: 26034"] I used the bergers for 2 seasons and shot 4 elk with them. The first 3 were between 260-450 yards. They went down much like the bear in the video. The fourth was a shoulder shot at about 50 yards. It did blow up not reaching vitals. For you to call my claims and thousands others like them "hogwash" is insulting and naive. If you think bullet blow ups are a myth you are simply wrong. Just because you haven't experienced one yet, doesn't make it "hogwash". If you make a habit of shooting elk in the shoulder at distances of 100 yards or less with VLD bullets, there is a good chance some day you will "buy these stories" that you seem to think myself and others made up. I still like the VLDs for long range purposes but, for close shots at a tough critter like an elk (much less a griz) I would rather have a tougher bullet in my chamber. Further more, I will avoid the hard shoulder of an elk at close range in the future with any bullet. [/QUOTE]
