[QUOTE="Broz, post: 574778, member: 7503"] Dennis, The fact is, you placed them poorly. Here is the list of what I have taken with Bergers this past season. From another thread. "This past season alone I have either been the shooter or have been with people shooting Bergers and here is the list. Bull Elk 210gr Berger 425 yards never took a step. One shot Large Bull Elk 210gr Berger 643 yards made it maybe 30 yards, One shot 2 Cow Elk one at 325 and one at 521 yards 210gr Bergers dropped in tracks one shot Bull elk 511 yards 230gr Berger never left its bed. One shot rolled over dead. Cow elk 400 yards 230gr Berger dropped in tracks one shot Cow elk ( my wife shot) 300 gr Berger 816 yards one shot dropped in tracks Cow elk 825 300gr Berger one shot dropped in tracks Large Montana Mule deer Buck 893 yards 230 gr Berger Dropped in tracks one shot Large Montana Mule Deer Buck 767 yards 300gr Berger one shot sprinted 50 yards nose dived Dead. Spring Black Bear ( Boar) 378 yards 210 gr Berger one shot sprinted 25 yards 4 antelope in WY and one in MT all shot with 210 or 230 gr Bergers no tracking required. This is just what I can remember from this past season. And again, I was there for every shot, and field dressing. I know what The Bergers do first hand. This is why I choose Bergers for hunting." Sir, in all due respect. Lets look at a few facts. You are new to LR shooting and hunting. You were pressed for time getting your rifle and drops ready for this hunt. Yet you still opted to take a bull from a very long distance. The fact is, one well placed Berger would have dropped this bull in his tracks. The problem is your level of skill with your new rifle prohibited this. I highly doubt at the slowed velocity at this long distance any bullet would blow up. I am not trying to be rude, but in my opinion you need to sharpen your skills before you engage another animal at these distances. Then I truely believe your outcome will be different no matter what the brand of bullet. Jeff [/QUOTE]
