[QUOTE="Don Titus, post: 1558624, member: 61851"] After reading several articles on how effective Berger hybrid/target bullets were on elk, I regrettably decided to use Berger hybrid 215’s in my 300 Win. Mag on a CO elk hunt in 2017. I shot a bull at about 120 yards, it was a quartering shot as he was turning away from me. I hit him in the shoulder and I think the bullet “cupped” him and did not penetrate. I was mid afternoon and we tracked him until his blood trail stopped. It was entirely my fault...should have remembered what my research had said ...that HT’s are deadly on broad side shots but not good on quartering shots. I waited too long to take the shot (he was legal but not a great rack) and I shot just as he turned off the ridge he was on. Bottom line is I will never take a chance with HT’s again...I will stick with Eldx’s or Partitions. [/QUOTE]
