[QUOTE="mawbro, post: 1697478, member: 48214"] Crazyhorse. In 2008 I shot a very large bodied 5 point Elk in Idaho. I was using 210 Berg VLD's out of a 300 Ultra Mag. I was all set up for long range and the bull came on the run with a whole herd and I was able to get a quick shot off at about 125 yds. Unfortunately, it was a dead center lung shot and the animal just kept going with the rest of the herd leaving me behind wondering if I should hang it up and quit hunting. However, I was dead certain I hit him and went to find a blood trail which I did, a typical large blood trail for about 250 yards. I'm always amazed at the stamina these creatures have and bullet placement is important because no matter what bullet you use some of them aren't going to die in there tracks. Some of the Berger exited the other side leaving a few holes in around a 1" circle. Attached is pic of lung damage. I still use Bergers today. Also, if you can shoot fist sized groups at 1000 yards that would be a perfect score with all X's in F class competition. Amazing shooting. [/QUOTE]
