[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1781362, member: 35101"] BNG, I respect the hell out of you from following you here on the forums so I will never tell you what to do. I never shot an elk but I have killed plenty of elk sized animals in Africa so I base my opinion on that. It SEEMS to me that with a Berger you need to be extra careful to avoid heavy bone and it is crucial to put that bullet into the ribs...let’s face it that any cup and core bullet will be effective with that shot. The point of my post opinion is that Berger is NOT the optimal bullet for big animals but you guys use them anyway. For big animals, I will use a mono bullet or an Accubond and not be afraid to put a bullet into an animal from ANY angle. From a rear quartering angle I put a Barnes X into a Zebras which broke its hip and penetrated 4 feet of Zebra before it exited....try that with a Berger. Again guys use whatever you like but in a 7mm type round, I wouldn’t use a Berger on anything bigger than a deer. Again my 2 Cents fellas!;) [/QUOTE]
