[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1742642, member: 103317"] I have been shooting Berger's for years in my 7mm LRM and in a 7mm STW before that. I think that what you got was exactly what they were designed for, as much internal hemorrhaging as possible. Elk are amazing animals. I shot a very large bodied bull a few years back at 250 yards quartering away. I put the crosshairs on the third rib back which gave me the path to the offside shoulder and pulled the trigger. You could hear the whack and the bull slightly hunched at the report but just stood there. I knew he was hit but when I shot the first time he turned facing straight away so there was no place for a follow up shot. He was in the open so I was not worried about him getting away. After about thirty seconds he starting wobbling and then fell over. When I gutted him out the lungs were just mush and I had taken out the top of the heart, lungs totally gelled but not a scratch on the offside. I have no idea how he stood there that long but it just goes to the fortitude of game animals. Congrats on your success. [/QUOTE]
