[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1084138, member: 13632"] I've been in on a pretty good pile of elk kills with 300's, 165 and 168 Barnes and 180 -200 gr Accubonds, switching to the 215 Berger was a whole new class of terminal performance and accuracy. You could not pay me to shoot elk with a Barnes or Accubond today, it's not BC that swayed me it's what I see through the scope when they hit an elk and then what I see on the insides first at close range then working my way out. I have not shot an elk a second time with them. I can't say the same for the others. Now I've drop back to using a 308 with a 215 Berger in it but I stay inside 800 with it. I know some very good elk guides that were blown away by the 215 Berger performance, near and far! When you shoot open tip bullets EACH bullet has to be weight on it's own merit and function with on game performance. Jacket thickness, meplat diameter and nose cavity will play a role in every bullet. [/QUOTE]
