[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1136546, member: 77536"] For what it's worth I've seen quite a few animals shot with various weight bergers out of a 300 RUM with very similar and very good results. Not saying I won't ever have a "failure", but it hasnt't happened yet. On the other hand, I shot 200 accubonds out of it for a while and a buddy put three shots through the boiler room of a cow elk at 600 yds and they were all .308 in .308 out with next to no internal shock damage. These were leaving at 3225 fps. Later that year I had two coues tags. One on the San Carlos reservation and one in a state unit. One deer was shot at 705 yds and one at 450 yds, both with the same lot of accubonds as the elk. They both had roughly 4" exit wounds out of the chest cavity. Seemed much less consistent to me in my limited experience so I switched back to bergers. Now using 230 hybrid targets at 3005 fps with excellent results on two kills this year. A buddy shot a coues with it at 712. .308 in, tons of pin holes out and jello inside. I shot a Muley at 570 and experienced very similar results. Honestly the 230's seem a bit more explosive than the 168's at 3500 fps I shot through this gun when I first got it. Wish I would've taken pictures of the wounds but I didn't... [/QUOTE]
