[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2482309, member: 32631"] I'd never use a 6.5 Berger bullet 140 to 156 on an elk. I don't want to take the chance. I've killed them with 7mm and 30 cal bullets of different kinds. Barnes and Nosler. I'd have no problem shooting a 30 cal. 215 Berger on an elk. Maybe 6.5 156 but a shot at heart. Barnes or Hammer will penetrate shoulder into lungs and bust shoulder down and they are down right there. I like Bergers but I know what I want an elk to do when I hit it. DRT. And yes Berger blood shot a lot of meat in calibers below .284. I know. Been there done that. Only Berger if use on elk is 185 to 215 .30 cal. If I got bone. I know at least I have some penetration. I don't like to hope that with 6.5 mm. I'd never rely on a 140 gr. Berger on elk. Marginal. [/QUOTE]
