[QUOTE="ThorThor, post: 2013403, member: 67938"] I would not recommend using that bullet. I have no experience with that caliber and weight of Berger but I have shot 6 animals (Not a mature bull elk) with 7mm 195 grain moving at 3100 fps and there is no way I would use it on elk. There was maybe 40/50 grains of bullet left after recovery of two of the occasions, mule deer and Pronghorn all over 300 yards. Of course broadside standing straight into lungs at 100/200 yards sure it will work great, but everything has to be right. Try and take a shoulder out, quartering to angle with a Berger on mature bull with a 6.5 Berger, I would not try it. Stick with a 140 Accubond or Partition, I know, old school. At least you know it will penetrate, And penetration kills elk. You cannot shock them to death with 6.5. That being said I love Berger bullets, just not in a small caliber on a mature Bull. [/QUOTE]
