[QUOTE="Catahoula, post: 1091404, member: 28707"] I would tell you to stay away from 190 Berger's. My 300 wm with H1000 shoots them very accurately @ 3000 fps. About 5 years ago I killed a small cow elk with this load. The shot was about 250 yards. She was quartering away a bit. The entrance wound was in the liver area. A bit back. I expected some penetration from this bullet & only got 8 inches. She laid down & I had to shoot her again in the head. With a tougher bullet it would have went into the heart/lung area and possibly even exited the far shoulder. I also lost a huge mulie buck shooting 140's from a 270. I will never use Bergers or Barnes bullets on big game again. Tell you the Barnes train wreck story another time. I am shooting the Nosler 200 PT now while bear hunting here in Idaho. They are traveling @ 3000 fps & shoot into a ragged hole at 100 yards. Thanks, Kirk [/QUOTE]
