[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 711025, member: 10391"] I took a buck here about four days ago at somewhere 100-150 yards up hill quartering away trotting with 190gr Berger 30-06 2680 fps muzzle. Dropped him like a rock. Impact was just behind the right front shoulder through the chest up into the neck with the bullet lodging against the hide just above the base of the neck. Tore the crap out of him even though it did not catch the shoulder itself. Weighed the 190gr Berger and the spent bullet weighed 85gr and had a decent mushroom with copper and lead intact at the bottom with the mushroom portion measuring almost half inch. Took a buck with the same bullet at 470 yards dropping him instantly with a similar wound channel. The velocity would have been around 2050fps at that range...never found the spent bullet as it passed through. Have not taken a elk with the Bergers yet so have no opinion but think they would perform in a deadly fashion. The 200gr Accubonds work well on elk for me and am working on a load using RE17 and if it gets as accurate as the 190 Bergers may switch back??? From my perspective and experiences I don't understand why your having problems but s**t happens. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
