    300wsm and 190vld for elk question

    Sorry just found this thread. I am hunting with this bullet in my 300 wsm. RL-17 and just over 2800 FPS. Two elk in two years. One at 432 yards, the other just over 450. Both broadside shots. Fantastic performance. Both were complete pass through, with one taking a rib on the exit...

    Berger 168 VLD results on an Elk

    I killed a raghorn bull in SE Idaho with a 190 Berger Hunting VLD at 452 yards fired from a 300wsm. One shot through the boiler room. He trotted 40 to 50 yards and fell down. This is the 4th animal killed by that rifle and load combination in two seasons. Two mule deer in 2015, one of those...

    Barnes 95 gr bullet in a 270 Win.

    I load the 110 gr. TTSX for my wife's .270. Velocities around 3400. It's a great shooter as the groups shrank when I got near the published max charge of H4350. She recently tagged a Central Washington Mule deer at 340 yards. Bang flop. Perfect bullet performance and zero tracking! Wsmnut
