[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1779556, member: 13632"] My buddy shoots a 6.5x284 with 140 Berger's or a 270 Win with 165 Matrix for the majority of his hunting, he hits Alaska every two years and just in a typical year the 6.5 rolled two elk, filled his deer tags which would have been 7 and he tipped his Ak bull moose with it, really just do all situation. When we cut the bull moose his first round entered just of the center of the chest in a frontal shot, we found the bullet in the of side flank, lungs were damaged enough the bull couldn't move, the second round went just in front of the shoulder took out the spine and we found that bullet just under the hide. Maybe it has nothing to do with the bullet at all, I personally think it way more shooter than bullet, I can put any bullet into a strong or a weak position, you give me five shots on a bull elk with a Barnes and I'll show you a failure to penetrate a shoulder, is that my issue or the bullets, for me a bullet like a Berger or Hammer just fits my hunting and I have great quick kills at a way higher percentage, I believe that has to do with a bullet and shooter matched up, I have friends who don't get along with the same exact bullet I do, the bullets are the most consistent part of that whole deal so it's more likely it's another thing that brings out the differences in what we see [/QUOTE]
