[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2195990, member: 25190"] As the guy who started this thread as young lad, allow me to follow up. I did begin to shoot the 215 Hybrid in my newish 300PRC. Load development was very easy like I have seen with all Berger bullets. So far I have taken a smallish bull elk with 1 reasonably well placed shot. He went about 40 yards and piled up. He was hit kind of in the zone you really don’t want to aim for, in line with the crease but just below the spine. Double lunged him high, had good blood spray leading to my prize. Zero meat damage. The second animal was a decent mule deer buck. Not my proudest shot placement moment- I was going for a high shoulder at 550 YDS and hit him too far forward, kind of below the windpipe. He ran downhill injured and spewing all kinds of blood. I figured he was dead but when I got over to him he was bedded and in bad shape. In trying to get a perfect angle to finish him off he got up and started running and I had to just about shoot from the hip to prevent him from getting away. I nailed him square in the hip socket quartering away at like 50 YDS. No exit wound, never found a bullet fragment from that second shot. It dropped him like a stone and greatly reduced the amount of meat I got out of the deal. To sum it all up I am satisfied and will keep shooting this bullet. [/QUOTE]
