140 berger out of my old 264 made quick work of my last elk. Pulled this from under the hide on opposite side, right at 40 grains best I remember.

I’m a huge berger fan, killed several deer and a couple elk with Berger’s from a 264 wm and a 300 wm. Everything I’ve shot previously has had the lungs completely liquified and died very very quick. However, I just returned from an unsuccessful elk hunt and wanted to kill something with my 300...
