Does anyone have experience with the Berger 205 Elite Hunter. I have had great success with Berger 215Hybrid in my 30 Nosler. I'd like to try these 205. Has anyone hunted successfully with these bullets? what was the outcome?
 
I shoot it out of my 30 Nosler. I took and elk this year… It was a 100 yd shot but he went 15 yards and keeled over. I get a little over 3k fps and it has more room to run but I have an accurate load and don't feel the need to chase a little bit of speed.

Shot him through the shoulder, a few inches up and to the right of a crease shot. This is the entry into the rib cage - no exit but his organs were jelly.

We shot two elk with them this past year. One at 300 yards. DRT. Number two at 485. Completely destroyed the heart ( it's was about 80% gone) . That elk walked about 50 yards amazingly, but was not hard to find. We liked them.
