[QUOTE="Bdubose, post: 2205307, member: 104938"] I am not exactly sure - long story as to why I left my gun in camp - but it was a buddy's gun in 300 RUM, 190 grain VLDs going over suggested speed (according to him). We killed 2 elk in 30 minutes. I put three in mine, he put 4 in his, and later confessed he may have pushed the limits on the bullet. He is a competition shooter with many kills at ELR and likes pushing the limits. Both elk were 500 yards, and all shots were not penetrating. He shoots only Berger's to this day. But after reading MUCH information on this site, Snipershide, and other forums I found this is not an uncommon issue. My point remains - velocity at impact affects these newer bullets greatly, and since I shoot a 7 mag (considered light for Idaho elk) I opted for a bonded bullet to ensure penetration.
