[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 1942323, member: 1403"] Bergers were inconsistent for us on deer at close and long range, which made up my mind on even attempting to use them on elk...The 7mm 168s blew up, the 180s pinholed, the 30 cal 210s blew up, Neither are what you want for elk...Not even risking it. Weve killed around 200 elk in 20 years with 30 cal 180g NBTs, 30 cal 200g Accubonds with 300 win mag and 300 RUMs, 7mm 160g Accubonds, 7mm 162g Amaxs/ELDMs/ELDXs from 7 Rem mag, 7-300 win mag, 7 RUM, and .338 300g SMKs from 338 EDGE from 50 yards to 1125, and the majority being from 300-800 yards with a much better consistent terminal performance rate than any Bergers. Bergers are 2 thumbs down in our camp...And since I reload and set up everyone's rifles, I kinda have a say so as to what's being loaded and used :) If you like Bergers then by all means use them. I'll take a 200 count sample seen with my own eyes over anything anyone else says. [/QUOTE]
