[QUOTE="dakor, post: 142011, member: 2204"] I talked my buddy into using them this year and I tried the berger 210gr. He shot a few deer in the 4 to 500 yard range the bullets worked great. Then we went to Wyoming and we shot our cow Elk at the same time at 279 yards. He shot his cow through the front shoulder and she dropped right were she stood. I shot mine in the lungs and it went about 10 yards and fell over. We found his 200 smk resting against the off side shoulder. I knew I should have kept the bullet myself until I got a picture of it and weighed it but he kept it and lost it. If I were to guess it probably weighed in the 70gr range and the core was still in the jacket. My bullet exited. His muzzle velocity was 2850fps. I would use either the 200smk or 210Berger for elk and not lose sleep over it. [/QUOTE]
