[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 1910162, member: 109801"] I have seen 4 cow elk and 2 mule deer go down to Bergers. None made it far, and only 1 exited. Cow elk: 168gr HVLD from a 300 win mag at 350 yards. 1 shot. 115gr HLVD from a 257 weatherby at 260 Yards. 2 shots. Upon inspection the first shot would have done it, but I shot again not knowing if the first shot was good. The elk went 30 yards. 135gr Berger Classic Hunter from a 6.5x55 at 180ish yards. 1 shot. She went 20 yards. 135gr Berger Classic Hunter from a 6.5x55 at 160ish yards, 2 shots. 1 high shoulder that probably would have done it, but 1 more lung shot that anchored it. She went a total of about 40 yards. NO EXITS on any of the elk. Mule Deer: 135gr Berger Classic Hunter @ 250ish yards on a 4x4 mulie (the one in my avatar) 1 shot, the deer went 40 yards. 135gr Berger Classic Hunter @ 30 yard on a small spike. Hard quartering. It exited with a nasty exit about 3" in diameter out the front of the chest. DRT. I don't shoot the heavy Bergers in heavy calibers so I will not purposefully shoot shoulders. [/QUOTE]
