[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1697094, member: 66917"] Don't get me wrong, the Berger, with a properly placed shot, will kill an Elk from 0-500 yards but if you're limiting yourself to 500 yards you don't need a Berger and their great BC. If the copper bullet shoots to your liking out to 500 yards then stick with the sturdier bullet. The last Elk I killed was with a Nosler 180gr Accubond from a 300 WSM leaving the gun at 3000 fps. The shot was about 390 yards and the bullet did not exit and basically disappeared. The shot was right in the pocket and the Elk only when in circles a few times and died. So even with a well built bullet at a reasonable range it did not exit. Maybe a 180gr TTSX might have exited. The issue is if the elk would have been in thick stuff and left the scene there would have been very little blood to follow. [/QUOTE]
