[QUOTE="toddc, post: 737755, member: 4566"] When I see all of the discussion related to bullets and which one to use I realize that not everyone uses a 338 with a 300gr SMK or berger. Either one of those will result in option 3 if you park the truck in the right spot. Might damage a little meat though. I worry about meat damage once its dead. Id rather have too much meat damage in the back of my truck than not enough out running around. Everyone focuses too much on which SOOOPERBOOOLIT will kill and not enough on running a heavyweight long bullet. A 6mm,6.5mm,7mm,300 or 338 in bergers heaviest weight will get you as close to option 3 as possible. I dont trust the 257 berger as the sd isnt what I like to see in a conventional bullet but any other will work like a charm. Problem is everyone gets hung up on velocity and wants to shoot a light for caliber slug....then you get these bullet fail threads. Ive shot a lot of different slugs at animals and the long bergers are homewreckers. Problem is that too many people ignore common sense because a bullet builder is telling them a buncha BS. A long for caliber berger(even the 115 6mm) will generally give you option 1 & 2. [/QUOTE]
