[QUOTE="GSP814, post: 1877758, member: 92703"] I killed two 5x5 bull elk last year with my 6.5 GAP Mountain Rifle that I bought from Len Backus using the 156 Berger. Shots were 150 and 250 yards, both dropped at the shot. When I went to Africa, I killed a warthog, impala and besbuck with a Kimber Montana 7-08 shooting 120 grain TTSX, all one shot kills. I then killed a kudu and gemsbok with a Sako A7S in 270 Winchester shooting Sako factory 156 grain Hammerheads. Both animals dropped at the shot (75 and 50 yards) and both needed an up-close finisher. The Hammerheads had core jacket separation, I doubt they are the same Hammerheads mentioned on this forum. When in doubt, use a Barnes in Africa. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
