[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 1130794, member: 55580"] I was lucky enough to punch my tag on a decent 5x5 bull this year during Colorado's first rifle season. Not long range, as the shot was only about 100 yards, but figured I would still post on here. This was my second hunt with the 230 Berger Hybrid, and I have to say, I am very impressed with the results. Shot was a little low but never exited, dropped all it's energy on the bull. The bull ended up only going about 30 yards. I also dropped an antelope earlier in the year with very similar results - no exit and the buck barely went anywhere. Here is a pic of the bull: [ATTACH]53301.vB[/ATTACH] You'll see that the front leg is broken. The elk appeared to be getting around fine, but looks like it had been shot in the leg at some point. For anyone who is interested in the full story, I did a longer write-up here: [url=http://www.backtrakoutdoors.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2332]BackTrak Outdoors | Elk Hunting Forum | Elk Mentors[/url] [/QUOTE]
