[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 855400, member: 4191"] The bullets did fail to perform satisfactorily on this moose according to reports from the hunter and the guide. Everyone can blame anyone or anything they want for this failure to perform. A 250 grain bullet is not a lightweight .338 caliber bullet, and not everyone is a bullet expert. Stenger's been reloading for 20 years. The inference is he is uninformed and made a poor choice - that's where the fault lies when this bullet fails to perform on this moose. Or perhaps in addition, the shooter who's reported to have a lot of hunting experience under his belt with controlled expansion bullets, took a low percentage shot with a frangible bullet. Neither of these guys were rookies, but they evidently don't study and test bullets for a living either. I believe lots of guys could reach the conclusion that the Berger 250gr OTM, which has a heavier jacket than their 250gr Match Grade Elite Hunter and which is recommended for hunting by Berger, should have the muscle to harvest a moose.
