Berger .308 205 EH terminal performance

[The Oregonian]

Shot a bull yesterday - first animal I have shot with my 30N (recently rebarreled from 28N)…only an 80 yard shot as we stumbled on these bulls by hearing them bugle and had to stalk up to a knoll overlooking them.

But, regardless of distance, I was thrilled with the performance. Shot was through the shoulder and we found the base of the cup basically in the offside hide - bull was pretty much broadside. Bull stumbled 20 yards on 3 legs and got drunk and passed out a few seconds later.

I haven't seen much on the performance of these so wanted to share my results. Just over 3000 MV, and was moving at 2870 at 100 yards with energy of 3750. Took a rib with it into the chest cavity.

Zero complaints on the performance on this shot. Will weigh what is left of the bullet when I get home but my guess is it isn't over maybe a few dozen grains.

That's kind of in between - we removed the shoulder and this was the entrance into the chest cavity after it had gone through the shoulder on that side.
